Granted. World peace only lasts throughout Christmas day, and afterwards society returns to its imperfect, sometimes-and-sometimes-not tolerable state.
Granted.. crime rate and violence spikes on every single day except christmas and by mistake if someone commits crime or any act of violence on the day of Christmas that year's christmas will be skipped.
The paw curls as it grants your wish. Days pass until Dec 24. The clock counts down to the last seconds of the eve. 11:89..59.. As the clock reaches 12 AM, December 25th, World peace is achieved. All sense of violence and competition is forever erased from the mind of humankind. All concepts of wants vanish from human thought. All plans and ambitions snapped away as if they were never made or thought of in the first place. That decadent xmas dinner prepared hours before? Nobody wants that anymore. The bitter cold felt by the people who chanced to be outside as the peace came, people just chose to take it. Mankind just stops and sees, knows and feels. The cold, the heat, the fatigue, the danger, the hunger, the thirst, especially the pain- all registered in the mind; yet all desire to avoid it, to do something to relieve oneself simply does not. The human brain can no longer physically process the thoughts needed to take action. Any form of action will break the peace now widespread across the world. And the monkey's paw simply will not allow that.
Granted! This peace will only last for 24 hours. We'll go back to normal by December 26th.
I'll take it.
