About This Quote
The most dangerous thing in the world is a warrior who has lost his sense of being. He can hurt others just as he hurts himself, but he is no longer able to hurt himself. His rage is out of control, and he is no longer able to protect himself or his loved ones. He may become a danger to others, but even that is secondary to the danger this man poses to himself.
This quote captures the significance of war for both those who fight and those who are forced to fight. It warns about the dangers, both physical and mental, of war for all involved.
