Peace will come, or more accurately, we will achieve Peace- when we make it our priority.
For most of the "western world", our priority is accumulation of wealth & power, which we are achieving well. For others, the priority is survival. When we make peace our first priority, we can certainly achieve it, when we put more money into peace research & development than into military and economic development.
Peace is not the absence of war any more than war is the absence of peace. War is a concerted effort to achieve something, (usually economic, despite what our governments say at the time).
When we make Peace a concerted effort, as we do at times, we always achieve it...at least until something else becomes more "important" to us.
When we make a priority of passing along a peaceful, clean, livable world to our children & their children, we can achieve it, but if we think only of our own comforts, accumulation, & needs, there will be little left for our descendants.
