positive people, negative people, and balance

obviously both positive and negative are subjective in this sense, but, basing this idea off of almost every other 'balance consists of both positive and negative because without one the other isn't'...
are the theories/ideas/ideals of those who strive for or believe that humans can all live in peace and 'be happy' is not possible as all happy or positive or peaceful people would not be balance?
war has been seen in other animals. a chimp group in gombe spent 4 years attacking a smaller group, exterminated all of them, and then took over their territory in addition to their original home range. (this is an extreme example) or is it that *if* we could attain a peaceful humanity, we would have transcended the animal instinct in us and become more than animals like most of us think we are? and even then, how exactly would this imply being more than animal and not a step taken by no other before?

the answer is 2012

very good question. maybe we have to go beyond this duality of "good" and "bad" to achieve a truly peaceful, loving manifestation of humanity

I think it's possible to be HAPPY in the true sense of the word and still have those negative and positive qualities. The difference would reside on one total acceptance of every little thing that we are. Instead of fighting and misinterpreting them, we could explore them and understand them. If you take a close look on how most of the conflicts start, you will realize that it is because people are always striving to "improve". Are trying to change our true nature over something that seems to be more "spiritual" or moral. How can one be happy in this constraining situation? I'll use an analogy which suddenly comes to my mind when I think about this matter: a fat lady suffocating herself to death with a corset, just for the sake of looking thinner and more appealing. This is most definitely not something which we can call improving oneself, even though most people think that's where they think happiness resides. And this is because the education we get teaches us to find quick and superficial answers and many people are ok with that, because it's an instant "cure" for their deepest problems. I could elaborate more on that but it will be off the topic in discussion and I think that what I wanted to say has been said. Happiness is achievable and available for each and every one who accepts themselves and the world as it is, and it can turn into bliss if we find echoes of ourselves in everything.
