The Peace Equation

What if World Peace is a world at war?

Good needs bad in order to exist. Without bad there is no good. Only neutral equilibrium. Humanity, in order to learn, to fulfill the obligation of progress and accumulation of knowledge, needs adversity, only so as to scale the walls and come out victorious.

Friends exist only with enemies and neutral walk-bys (people you see but never meet). Without enemies the walk-bys would be the only aquaintances we'd keep.

Friends themselves need conflict in order to stay friends. They need to pull through tough times together in order to reassess "Can we still be friends?" Tests. School is a battle, work is a battle, war is a battle.

War might be pushing it, but we still need battles. A world truly without battles is a world not worth living in. It would be pointless.

A world at peace is a world at odds.
