Advent Calendar Day 8- Let there be peace on earth

The wolf shall live with the lamb,
   the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
   and a little child shall lead them. 
The cow and the bear shall graze,
   their young shall lie down together;
   and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp,
   and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den. 
They will not hurt or destroy
   on all my holy mountain;
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
   as the waters cover the sea. 

Isaiah 11:6-9

I was thinking today of this vision that everyone has of the peace of the world.
Is there anyone who does not want it?
Why then do we just not get on with it?
