We could have a world without fear or wars. It's a matter of choice. It's not that we can't make this world a paradise, we don't want to. On what basis can such an expectation rest, dear kosta? There is nothing in human history that would seem to support such a sanguine claim.
Plus what is this business about some unspecified "we" possibly not wanting to make the world a paradise?
But since you've made the claim, please tell us: What is your programme for making "this world a paradise?"

On what basis can such an expectation rest, dear kosta? There is nothing in human history that would seem to support such a sanguine claim On the basis of education and free will. Societies have a remarkable ability to shape opinions, moral standards and goals. All that's lacking is good will, which even the most religious societies seem to lack.
