In a world of diversity, is it really possible to coexist without conflict?

We live in a world composed of various people, ideas, cultures, etc, which sometimes are locked in a web of conflicting interests, yet it is conventionally expected that peace should reign. Given the reality of the world we live in, is it still plausible to expect peace and harmony?

    Oct 29 2012: My brother and I shared a bed, which required us to have a karate line down its center, and with that rule, we shunned many of fights. Two diverse beings living at opposites ends of space and dogmas can live completely happy lives and yet take to brothers almost the same in all ways but stuck together will collided. The point is proximity causes conflict and that is inevitable with this species.

    My brother and I are better men for conflict prevailed as boys. I went looking for this idea in Ted and found it here: http://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_heffernan_dare_to_disagree.html

    Please avoid wars with separation.
