About This Quote

This quote shows the tragedy of war when we have to do something that we don’t want to do, but in order to survive we have to do it. In the quote, the author is saying that when we win a war, we have to sacrifice our ideals and become what we were not before. When we lose a war, we just have to persevere and work hard in order to find a way out of this situation. War teaches us to be strong and survive. We may lose something in the process but in the end, we will be who we were meant to be.
