Have you ever been angry with someone? Of course you have... And you've made another angry with you. Anger is one of the most primitive instincts humans have. Since the beginning of time and humankind, one against the other, usually for resources, although many other means will set off anger.. You can not remove this very element of humankind, it is built into us, probably as a survival tool. Since man's beginning, we have fought to gain superiority using our hands as weapons to sticks and stones and now the threat of nuclear. Without this anger instinct, we would all die. It is as important as love.
Your question of 'why we can't live in peace' is a valid question but an immature one. We will never learn to live in peace, we can only be prepared to deal with aggression and protect those we love when aggression and anger attacks us. " being prepared for war is the best way to avoid war.." Turn your back on the enemy and he will stab you in the back. You can not change the very soul of your existence. We are what we are-- There is no utopia.

Cavemen fought over important things like territory, women, food supply, hang on isn`t that what we are still doing?
The Price of Peace is Eternal Vigilance.
We can"t and never will live in peace, there is hatred amongst people for racial, political and religious reasons, there is jealousy and greed for the things we don't have but crave, the inability to accept those that are different in our eyes, like it or not we judge others in accordance to our own standards and values

Beautiful sentiment...but, realistically I just don't see that happening. Maybe in ways, we are not so far from the caves, as we so kindly like to think of ourselves. We gain technology, and then just devise more efficient ways of killing each other with it. Mankind's history kind of says it all.
