Possibility
While world peace is theoretically possible, some believe that human nature inherently prevents it. This belief stems from the idea that humans are naturally violent, or that rational agents will choose to commit violent acts in certain circumstances.
Others, however, believe that war is absolutely not an innate part of human nature, but a human invention, and that this myth in fact prevents people from reaching for world peace.

Famous quotes containing the word possibility:
“You may well ask how I expect to assert my privacy by resorting to the outrageous publicity of being one’s actual self on paper. There’s a possibility of it working if one chooses the terms, to wit: outshouting image-gimmick America through a quietly desperate search for self.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“There’s no possibility of being witty without a little ill-nature—
The malice of a good thing is the barb that makes it stick.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
