Is there any chance for world peace?

One of the best techniques movie directors use to keep attention from a very unstable audience, is to create hope in them. Just imagine a terror movie, or nowadays almost any action or detective movie; the best ones are not much the ones that show all gore, blood and flesh, but those that, even though there is a real threat, will give you the false sensation the hero or heroine is going to be saved after all. You spend around two hours waiting for that magical moment where everything goes right, and no matter how many deaths happened you will be happy.

Watching daily news have become similar to watch one of those movies. Sometimes, it seems the world is on the edge of a world peace moment. You can feel from the presenters' words, your president or prime minister's speech, even your neighbors and peers' chat at work. And then... Yes, the monster comes back and destroys all the good.

It is only hope that sustains us in all this process; an illogical hope the monster will be not only defeated, but it will be the last one. And we go and go day by day to watch the news. And if you are one of those very conscious people who stopped to listen to news from a company, you are still very attentive to the gossips around you and the comments on that. And you will keep hope in your heart, all the time.

It is only hope that sustains our economy, lifestyle and all that represents us as a society. Due to hope, pure hope, millions of dollars, even billions, move from one place to another. It is hope that is making some economies stumble back, as if you look with a very cynical eye, there is no reason for that to happen. It is hope that made you to buy that new TV screen in a world that seems to slowly stop watching TV, or purchasing a house where many experts say it is something to avoid.

Will this hope come to life at any point in time? Will we, you and I have the greatest opportunity to stop watching news, or listening to them, or talking to peers at the office about what happened in this or that war, terrorist attack or one of the many forms we see of violence nowadays?

With hope, I feel that day will come. Looking at our own history, I feel that day will come, and it will last more than one day. And the monster, one day, won't come back anymore...
