Is peace possible, or is conflict inevitable?

I believe that peace is possible, in different forms. Peace as in no bickering and verbaly fighting, peace as in no punching or rough housing, and peace as in no war or global conflicts. The bigger the scale, the harder it is to attain, and we have yet to see world peace. I highly doubt that we will achieve world peace, based on human nature and past experience. People can't always agree, and won't. If we always agreed, we'd all be wonderbread, as Mrs. Berg would say. All the same and BLAND. Being different is part of who we are, and we all have the freedom of different opinions. One example of this is The Declaration of Independence. Conflict was inevitable, as the Patriots disagreed with King George III, as people will always have separate views on things. Peace was possible once everyone got together and wrote the Declaration of Independence. It didn't please everybody, but the majority was satisfied.
Peace on a smaller scale IS possible, though conflict is also innevitable; there will always be fighting and disagreements. It is best to settle them peacefully. But it peace is a good thing to strive for, however big or small the scale.
