How can we expect peace in the world when we combat it daily in our own backyards?
We fight with spouses, 
significant others, friends, and neighbors and call the cops. There’s even a show about this on cable TV called, “Fear thy neighbor.”

We divorce our spouses and have domestic disputes with significant others at times requiring
emergency care, other times resulting in murder. Siblings fight and at times result in bloodshed and broken bones. Schools, shopping malls and houses of worship have all been targets of mass shootings. Many of these real-life stories can be seen on TV shows like Dateline and 48 Hours.

How can we expect
peace in the Middle East amongst Jews and Muslims, Israel and Palestine, even our own political system if we can't even have peace with family, friends, and neighbors or write an opinion piece without attacks?

Peace is something great
for politicians and hippies to campaign and talk story on but is something that humans will never achieve on planet Earth.
