First of all. Mini-rant.

Depression is a BIOLOGICAL condition. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. For anyone that thinks the depression is just a psychological condition and that people can "will" themselves out of it by thinking happy thoughts is just deluded. To get rid of depression would be to change human biology.

/end mini-rant

You can't stop anger, fear, hate anymore than you can stop happiness, love, fill in the blank.

You say we can stop the violence on a massive scale. How? By smiling at people? If you can't get rid of the root causes of anger, fear, hate, jealousy (and you can't) etc...., then there will always be violence throughout the world.

Like they've always been.

Not a good thing. Something we should try to change.

But I'm stating a fact here.

Anyway, i assume people would just try to live their lives in happiness. Why do we need money, and power? alot of what massive stars buy is senseless. there's just no point to alot of it... if you live happily, with one you love, some decent entertainment, and enough cash on the side, why do we need much more? why do humans need to rule over others?

I just want things to make sense.
Your broad generalizations are imprecise at best.

Humans want different things. Even you.
