Every burning problem in the world today has been generated based on the lust, hatred, and ignorance. People kill other beings keeping these three as a basis for their killings. Furthermore, they steal, commit adultery, tell lies, and consume alcohol and drugs based on these three things. In fact, these are the causes for most of the crises in the world today. The Supreme Buddha taught us the reason for wars to exist in the world as follows.

When we see a figure from our eyes we feel a sensation due to the connection (Passa) of eyes, the figure, and specific identification (Vingnanaya). We are drawn to this sensation and a lust or greed is formed. Likewise, greed is generated with respect to ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Then, we start to find what our greed was upon to (e.g., the figure). Since we are searching for it, we find it. Its value comes next into our minds. When we keep thinking about the value of it, we start to build a fondness towards it. This fondness causes an attachment. This attachment caused by the fondness creates a deep bond within us. That bond is so strong, and we cannot ignore it. This is why we try to obtain it, which is we strongly bonded to with, by any means. We do not like to see someone else is using it. This is why we become eager. The eagerness results in attempting to protect what we love, even if we have to fight for it. Guards equipped with dangerous weapons are created and started to war against anyone who starts to take that from us. Sometimes, this war becomes a never ending hatred and starts to propagate into future generations. This is how all these wars start to exist. Buddha taught us the reason for these wars is the greediness. Think about this for a moment. Is not this true? Is not the greediness the cause to all these wars? Yes, it is the reason for all the burning problems we face today. We can free ourselves from these problems and wars if we could eradicate the greed. This is the perspective of Buddha about how to achieve the world peace.
