A Perfect world.....is it still possible to have war???

Question

If the world was perfect with perfect people and a perfect life, would wars still exist and could any problems still occur. Remember perfect!!

Please think about this. No stupid answers. Really think!!!

Answer 1

Perfection in who's mind?

A perfect world for Ghandi for example will be different from the perfect world in Hitlers' mind...

For Muslims for example a perfect world is where all the world embrace Allah and all women are covered from head to toe in black.

Can the entire human population agree on a single view of a perfect world? I believe that when only when everyone agrees on a global view of a perfect world then we might have a world without wars.

Answer 2

If we could not determine which of the thousands of perfect gods is good enough to lead our religions and guide the human race towards a peaceful co-existence,  how then do we determine which of the over 6 billion perfect human beings on earth is going to lead, without an ultimate showdown of their perfect power?  I really wonder.

Answer 3

There was once a perfect world, with no wars and then came the human.

Even dinosaurs, being such fierce creatures never made war!

Answer 4

no because perfec people dont make mistakes and wars are mistakes

Answer 5

Define perfect.  If you define a perfect world as one without wars then a perfect world has no wars.  The phrases "perfect people" and "perfect life" are not precisely defined so it's impossible to say.  I question the assumption that there is a universal agreement of what these things mean.  Is a perfect life a life where you don't have to go shoot people for your government?  If what you mean by perfect people are people who couldn't ever hurt another person intentionally then I suppose not.

I'm not being intentionally dry or sarcastic here.  I think it really does depend on what you mean by these terms.

Answer 6

Perfect is a subjective word, but in short:

No, there would be no war. I am interpretting perfect meaning the perfection of a single ideology. If everyone believed in a single ideology and that society was allowed to completely develop on that ideology, the world would be perfect, just so long as everyone continued with that ideology.

The path TO perfection would be not very nice. Technically, under these circumstances, Hitler was trying to create a "perfect" world. If he were allowed to continue freely, exterminated everyone that wasn't good enough and the remainder submitted to the ideology, that would be perfection and they would not longer have any reasons to fight seeing as they agreed on everything.

However, in some cases, i think it is impossible, even in this sense. If there was a perfect capitalist society, then war might very well erupt as people competed with eachother to gain supremacy. Then again, if the society was perfect, everyone would agree that this type of struggle was "good".

Well, there's my ambivalent try for an answer lol

Answer 7

As long as there is human emotion, the possibility of war can exist. Would eliminating emotions make people perfect or like robots?

Answer 8

Perfection.....perfection is in the eyes of the beholder
