There will only be “True Peace” after extinction or extinction of all life?
Question by We’re all gonna die…: There will only be “True Peace” after extinction or extinction of all life?
So who views this similarly or exactly?

After reading I strongly agree.
“lol! No, there will never be world peace, EVER!!! That just depends on how you define world peace. If you define world peace as no more sates of war between countries, then yes, there would be world peace after human extinction only because what we call countries would no longer exist, not because peace would exist. The living condition for all creatures would not change. Animals would still hunt and kill each other just as much bc that is what all carnivores must do to survive. Whether you kill out of hate, or war, or hunting, it’s still killing. And I say being killed is not a state of peace. We just have this idea that war is wrong, and an absence of war would mean the world is at peace. NO! Three is still the daily struggle to survive for every creature on the planet. Most humans just don’t think about constant death bc most of us don’t hunt for food, and are isolated from the constant death that permeates the world. That’s the wonder of society. It creates its own bubble of reality.
We believe that what we call war is evil and the worst thing imaginable. Most creatures on this planet are in a constant state of what could be considered “war”. All rodents are constantly hunted by carnivores. Not that it’s right or wrong, that’s just the way it is. And the rat doesn’t give a shit whether a cat is hunting him out of hate, what we call “war”, or just to survive. The rat is hunted either way, and the state of living creatures will never be at peace!!! Unless you’re maybe pine tree or something.
I’m not saying war is right, I’m just saying DEATH IS EVERYWHERE! That’s a fact. In order to change that, you would have to completely alter life as we know it. Most humans aren’t even capable of being aware of how much death there is. They consider themselves above it, and are shocked and devastated when death touches them. They have no problem stomping insects, and slaughtering animals. They just don’t think about it. They don’t comprehend that they are no different from a mosquito they squish on their arm!! To the extent that we all live and we all die. To squash a mosquito or crush a bee hive is nothing, but if tidal wave crushes us, that’s somehow “REAL death”, real tragedy, somehow different from crushing other life forms. Humans deny that we die, assume that we will live till we’re 90, and if we don’t, then it’s a tragedy. But in both cases, whether a bug death or human death, it’s consciousness being extinguished. I’m not saying this is right or wrong, I’m making the point that this is what I observe…. humans don’t seem to consider themselves as fair game to be snuffed out like every other creature in the world. And I’m saying it’s a fact that we WILL all be snuffed out, and objectively, we are not different from any other creature, in that we all live and die. And because creatures must kill to survive, there will never be world peace EVER!”
I realize in reality, good vs evil isn’t 100% true what’s always true is that it will always be this struggle: survival of the fittest. It’s a dog eat dog world, filled with backstabbers, greed, hatred, lies and jealousy. Justice is only an illusion, and so is “Peace”, except after extinction.
Note: this has nothing to do with 2012, but if it was true and it’s the end so be it, better to be over with immediately/instantly/painlessly (I.E. blackhole) than a long struggle (I.E. wars, famine, ignorance and other misc man-made catalysms) that leads to eventual extinction. Though watching the movie, and looking at the state the world is, made me think about it and I can’t see much differently, but you all can try and make me think differently.
