It takes awareness even to believe you can't make a difference. I don't think he believes that it is impossible to make a difference in all things, because that would just be a foolish thing to say, but abolishing something that has been around since the start of man is a dream that seems damn near impossible to me. Maybe we can get close, and who knows what will happen. I just cannot see a future where war does not exist. This is all a personal opinion of course.
