World peace requires the cooperation and ability of all cultures and societies to understand and tolerate themselves as well as others. Quite frankly, this is pretty damn difficult. Which is why people turn to religion for solace and as a "commonality". Indeed, I feel religion only makes the divisions among different groups even worse. In my opinion, there is little to no hope. Pretty pessimistic, huh? If one were to be concerned about changing and/or eliminating government, then political activism is the way to go, but not necessarily the answer to all of our problems. Like so many things in life, there is no one answer.
