This is such an intense statement to put out there, but this is something I feel strongly about. World peace is something mostly everyone truly wants. Some will call you a hippie for believing it's possible, while others would just think that with all of this violence going on, it's a normal statement for people to make to voice their goals about the world. World peace is totally feasible under the right circumstances and with the right people in it, but currently it is nowhere near that point, which is why I am deeming it nearly impossible.

I am only 20-years-old, but I feel as though I am starting to grasp the meaning of life -- what is important in life and what is not important at all. One of the reasons world peace is nearly impossible is because people young and old still have not grasped even a small piece of what life should mean to them. Everyone needs to understand that life is extremely short. They also need to understand that no matter what race, what religion or where we come from, we are all in the same boat together.

So my question is, why would someone else try to cut another person's life shorter than it already is? It just does not make sense, and until people grasp that small concept, there will still be violence occurring all over the world.

My next point is that the people in this world act without being informed. And no, some media platforms do not count as places to get your information. Someone will see something on social media or on TV and then act without looking into it themselves or gathering their own opinion on the topic. This is a slippery slope for nonstop violence. It becomes a chain reaction. Someone that is informed performs an act of violence, the news broadcasts it, people see it (are uninformed) and then act in a matter of influence from the other person. If we all just took the time to gather information and not act just because someone else has, then the world would slowly become more peaceful. But, because that is not happening, this is another reason the world is nowhere near peace.

I'll admit that I am not even informed about some of the issues that are going on today around me, but that is also why I am not participating in any of the violence, protests or discussions about it. I am simply voicing that I know the world has turned very non-peaceful and from what I see there is no going back until these two points are understood by the majority of the people in the world.
