Doomed people celebrate peace with sky bombs.

About This Quote

When people celebrate peace, they think that it can be achieved without destroying those who are against those who want peace. They think that those who have opposing beliefs are simply waiting for their chance to destroy peace. To “celebrate peace,” however, is the ultimate example of the folly of humankind. It is an example of how humans pride themselves on their ability to destroy.

Doomed people celebrate peace with sky bombs because they believe that they can destroy their enemy without harming anyone else. They are wrong.
