The fact that all things are existing at the same time (everything has a complement)...would make me think that peace and war are inseparable parts of one whole. The dominating and submitting is a force that we see in nature and all around us...and we cannot escape it. I think maybe we look at wars from only a very human perspective. Peace and War are merely opposite polarities of the same "thing". We look at only the symptoms of war (violence,bloodshed, rape and pillage, etc) and we grieve for that. The fact is since the day there was "peace"...there was also "war". War has only expanded, proportionately as our capability and overall evolution has expanded. But what is war really ? within our own bodies our white blood cells/T-cells are constantly fighting or at war with free radicals, invading bacteria and viruses. When we walk on the ground going thru our everyday existence...our feet are killing innocent animals, creatures, insects, bacteria...whatever. They are at constant war with us...and we don't even know it. The war amongst chemical elements is what creates stars and planets. The earth is at war within itself (volcanos, tsunami, etc). I believe when the One Human Race...separated into multiple races.... The Source had this hidden agenda if you will... Can the races get along amongst each other .... recognizing the oneness within each other ? We don't really know how many mini-sub plots there are as they relate to our reason/existence here on earth. ~streetsanto
 
Everybody that has ever existed...has asked themselves this question at one point in their lives. Why am I here...and what is "Life"...what happens after this ? Will it hurt ? etc. etc.
 
There are two levels on which to answer this question. As above, so below. From a God level...and from a human level. God (The Universe, or The Source) seeks unlimited expression and experiences...and gets this thru living thru unlimited animals, humans, planets, worlds and galaxies.   Human beings are just a vehicle thru which God experiences thru. But we humans (which are just expressions of God) get to experience unlimited experiences and feelings too (thru various incarnations and lives). We come into this world and thru various "life altering traumas" (childhood abuse, domestic violence, rape, mental abuse, extreme poverty/wealth, etc) we are "forced" to experience Life thru a certain perspective. Trauma, chaos, conflict and strife...is a way in which God can manifest and experience different experiences. Joy and Ecstasy is not even relevant without Pain and Strife. Peace and Harmony must co-exist with its complement, War and Domination. How else could you (God/ The Universe) feel the Joy and Pain within /without; an ever expanding range of unlimited human experience ? We get to feel how it would feel to create and destroy...and all of the points in between. But our point of experience, feeling or expression ...is from the perspective of God or human.. depending on what we choose. We can choose to feel and experience on a limited or human level (its all mental)...or we can choose to experience from an unlimited or God level. Either way, GOD... The One Source gets to experience and feel. 

This answer will seem very cryptic and confusing...unless you can know and feel that you are an extension of God....and God lives in you..thru you. This is no different than you and your billions of cells that you call a human body. You experience, feel, grow and expand thur all of your cells. Your cells are not you...but you live thru them collectively.  Your billions of cells support your existence...your experience, your growth and expansion. 

So, GOD is that all powerful, all intelligent, formless (but containing the potential of all forms), always existing "Non -Thing". 

Life as we humans know it, is a game or mind matrix or "limitation" that God puts on itself ... to experience itself thru ever expanding ways, means and expressions. When you are all powerful and all intelligent, all knowing...how else can you experience and feel ?
