We are at war. War has a way of stripping us of perspective. War is about life and death, and it paints everything in shades of now or never.

About This Quote

This quote could apply to almost anyone when they are in the middle of a war, whether it is life or death. When you are in the middle of a war you feel like you are in the middle of life or death, and this feeling can make it very hard to think clearly. You really must be in the right place at the right time to get a chance to survive. Even if you were born during a time of peace, you must still have a sense of perspective.

You have to have a way of understanding what is going on all around you so that you can decide what is important and what is not. Only then can you do your best to get out alive.
