World peace or harmony is a myth. Even if the whole World is peaceful or harmonious, however at individual level, One would will still suffer! Why? Because, regardless, who One is - mind & body suffering is unavoidable. As everyone has an impermanent physical human body. Which suffers the pains of growing up, ageing, deteriorating health and eventually will die! Thus there is no way to eliminate suffering cause by the body. However One can practise to 'void' or 'transcend' body sufferings! In truth, without sufferings will negate the Buddha Dharma. Without experiential sufferings there is no incentive to practice and cultivate wisdom to overcome sufferings by waking up! In truth, suffering is prerequisite to cause One to practice and cultivate the Buddha Dharma to realize to wake up to transcend sufferings! And the Buddha gained Self Enlightenment thru' his earnest endeavors to overcome sufferings, and thus he founded the 4 Noble Truths & 8 Fold Path to practice in life. 😊
