About This Quote
The ultimate wound is the one that makes you miss the war you got it in. This quote shows that the ultimate wound is a deep wound that comes from a deep love. When we love, we feel pain and we want to repair those wounds. It's almost as if we can't live without those people, but we know better than to try and fix them.
That's why, as he says, the ultimate wound is the one that makes you miss the war you got it in. When we feel this much pain and we know we should be with our loved ones, we should stay away from them and let them find their way back to us without us trying to fix things first. The only thing that will stop this pain and this hurt is self-discovery and understanding that these wounds will never completely heal until we let go of what happened to bring those feelings back.
