Yes. Happy would not be considered Happy if there was no sad because, well, there's no sad. It's hard to explain, but I think you get it.

That's what the yin and the yang are all about. The white side wouldn't be a white side if there were no black side. If there were no black side, it'd simply be a white circle with dots, which would thus not be the Yin Yang.

If there was no corruption and such, we would not refer to peace as "peace", because there'd be no difference from peace and normal life. There'd be no such thing as peace, because we'd just refer to it as normal.

This might half not increase peace & half increase peace but, capture the terrorists & kill them!

I don't think killing them would be a good idea. They may deserve it but what are we to decide their fate. Also there would be lots of angry people at our doorsteps.

If however, occurrences such as war and murder weren't apparent, the Earth would get along just fine. No jobs would be lost (except for those along the lines of assassination, which quite frankly, we could do without) and no weapons of mass destruction would be crafted, thus, keeping the Earth that much healthier.

It's just a matter of those currently fighting these kinds of battles to realize that killing will only bring forth more destruction. Nothing is solved by war, and never should anything be. Those who think it does solve problems are living a lie. A huge, deadly lie.

Didn't war win Texas independence from Mexico
Didn't war stop Britain from impressing USA citizens (impressment is forcing someone to become a sailor )
Didn't war get Mexico it's independence from Spain
Didn't the American civil war put an end to slavery in the states

Wars can solve problems, without war peace would mean nothing

Didn't war kill millions of people?
Didn't war strike fear into the hearts of countless innocent families?
Didn't war bring slavery and such to this world in the first place?

If there were no fighting, there'd be no need for revenge, thus people wouldn't enslave others. If there were no war, if countries felt no need to gather power to defend themselves from possible threats, every country would have been independent in the first place. Countries only conquered others with the power of war, and the knowledge others had of the havoc and complete chaos it could bring.

It's as plague, and all it's good for is the destruction of the earth, which it will no-doubt bring if people don't come to their senses.

War brings good things only to those who win. Peace offers it to both.

I am just saying peace on earth is not possable , unless all carnivores went vegetarian

Yeah, you're right about that. Humans don't really eat each other though, they just kill for power. If we stopped killing for power, the world would be much more peaceful.

buuuuut, there is a disorder or something for not eating enough meat, so peace is totally a mirage.

Power Kill:Nah, it's natural that we would want to kill each other for power.

True , but I was talking about the natural world where it is kill or be killed. I also know that war can't solve all problems, it should only be a last resort
