Forums → WEPR → Without War, Can there really be Peace?

...for the love of Cthulhu, do people even read these days?

Fine. I'll put it this way.

No one on this planet can make a real judgment on the subject due to use being biased. Because we have had war. Thus made a word for when there is no war.

So yeah.

Mmm...Cthulhu Crunch...

i think that without war,peace can really exist,but that is just close to immpossible,but not impossible

But if war never did exist, we would have no word for war, nor for peace. Therefore, peace would not exist.

Ultimately, it depends on how one defines both peace and war. I personally think that the yin/yang theory that people have been using does not apply. As yin/yang applies to good and evil.
Anyway good and evil are too things that arent constant and, in my opinion, dont really exist in the first place. Unlike war and peace which are tangible (that is if you think our world is real and tangible but that is a topic for another time). So if one considers peace to be an absence of war, as I do, yes it can.

Of course there is also the fact that if war never existed in the 1st place peace would have a different meaning or the word would not exist in the first place. That, in my opinion, does not mean peace would not exist. If there is a language where the word snow does not exist, does that mean that snow does not exist? Or was the sun created when man named it. No.

I hope this all makes sense I typed it rather quickly.

Of course there can be peace without war. It would just be sorely under-appreciated.

No. Peace is not peace without a retrospect, conflict.

Peace cannot exist without conflict, and conflict cannot exist without peace.

No, as soon as we kill all rich people we will have peace.

It would be peace by our standards. To them, it world be just...the norm.

Without war, we wouldn't know what peace is.

It would just be sorely under-appreciated.

Peace is what happens when war isn't going on. If there was no war then peace would always exist. Peace would always exist people would just not know it. If something is happening but you don't know it is it still happening? YES!!!!!!!!!!!

alpha, if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound.

because this is exactly what this thread is like. i still say no their would be no peace, but who knows.

I have a question. Without peace, can there really be war?
