What will finally be the catalyst to peace in the world?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) November 14th, 2015 from iPhone

Aside from a biblical Messianic Era from the coming of the Messiah? or aliens landing, what will bring on a great peace between countries and people?

The fantasy of the Star Trek United Earth where all human beings live in harmony is probably unattainable, but what if?

Does there have to be a catastrophe? A big bomb? Lots of death and war? Will world powers have to start taking over other less powerful countries and if we are lucky the ones in power are peaceful and allow freedom for the citizens? Or, will it eventually naturally evolve and it doesn’t have to happen through occupation and war? Will there be an effort to finally take care of poverty, and other major inequities, which will create a more harmonious circumstance?

What do you picture as being the eventual way we all live safely and reasonable happy lives? It doesn’t have to be any of the ideas I named. I’m more interested in a longer winded story of how you picture it coming to be.
