About This Quote
If we never experience war, we will never really understand peace. We may think we do, but we don’t. All of our lives we have been trained to believe that the only way to be happy is to have a peaceful existence. In actuality, that is not true.
Peace is just a state of mind. Although it is hard at times, there are plenty of times when being at war can be a great thing. For example, a war can help a country become better and more prosperous or it can bring us closer together as a nation.
