Will there ever be peace?

I find myself wondering if this planet is even meant to be a place of tranquility, or if we are destined to be an eternal battlefield for the forces of good and evil. Is fighting for what is right even worth the effort? For those who are spiritually inclined—those who have found connection with God, Jesus, or whoever they choose to follow as they seek to transcend this physical realm—does our duty lie in rising above this world, or in staying deeply embedded within its struggles? Perhaps this entire existence is merely a dream, and God is simply waiting for us to wake up and return to Him.
I don't think peace will ever happen, unless the admin can fix it...
Nah, not in the long run anyway. This whole cosmic game involving the elements and everything is eternal within the universe... the show must go on, right? And if you look at it from a psychological angle rather than just the religious side, the answer is still no. Human nature just doesn't allow for universal peace—those primal, old-school instincts are just too hardwired into us.
You might find some peace within yourself or maybe within your own little bubble, and sure, you can influence things on a small scale, which isn't bad, but you really gotta stop obsessing over changing the whole wide world. You should focus on changing yourself and finding your own "zen"... the world will take care of itself, it’s not some rudderless boat drifting aimlessly.
As for what you're asking, if you talk to some Hindus, you aren't far off from the truth... the universe is basically just an illusion. It's like seeing the reflection of the Moon in a pool of water—always appearing real, constantly shifting, totally tangible to people but lacking any actual substance. Everything happening in the universe is like a massive play where we're the lead actors, but we don't even realize we're on stage, so we end up treating everything like a tragedy because we can't see what's happening behind the curtain... or even understand the roles we're playing.
