"Thousands die" the headlines read. The frontpage headlines. The Second and third page headlines had less to offer - "Musical Groups rally to raise funds for Boredom Relief." "Editorial - Is there a lack of news?" "World Peace - Is it worth it?"
There was a lot of debate of the whole issue, but in the end, the UN--which comprised itself of every world power in existance--decided to stop this conflict thing once an for all. Anything in which two opposing forces met were banned on a universal scale, from the smallest arguement to the biggest wars. All wiped out in one clean stroke.
The first "discouragments" (arrests were no longer allowed under the new Conflict Pact) occured when two drunken men got in a fight. They were immediatedly led away by Peace Blokes (Police forces were also banned) and separated from each other in a very non-violent manner. Thus began a reign of goodwill and love of fellow man which everyone wanted since Jesus's time. It was a leftist Utopia.
Yet, "Thousands die". Why? Everyone was killing themselves. Out of sheer boredom--no art (every work of art involved contrast or conflict), no music (except for Love ballads, Peace songs and the like), no media (most violent form of amusement). The human race is trapped between eternal conflict and stagnation. Peace shall be the scourge of the Earth.
