I believe that peace and harmony are attainable.  I don't believe that
they are necessarily a realistic expectation, but I do believe that
they are within our grasp.

Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish
things.

It is naive of me, I acknowledge, but I hope that mankind is leaving
its infancy -- it might take several hundred more years , who knows --
and is preparing to put away its childish things.  Religions are
evolving into more ecumenical creations, finally concentrating more on
charity than doctrine.  I believe we have a chance at peace and
harmony, if we continue to work for it.  A slim chance, but still a
chance.
