I Hate War

Of course I do, everyone who hates seeing human beings suffering hates war.

But I cannot help noticing that generations who have lived war situations, and the scarcity it brings, appreciate the real value of things, do not take things for granted, or think they are entitled to so many rights just like that.

War is terrible but it is s good cure for narcissism.

I recently heard something to the effect that "peace is not the equilibrium state for society." It is artificially achieved by the threat of nuclear weapons ('mutually assured destruction') and diplomacy.

@SomeAreBoojums We think war is the absence of peace, but it is the other way round.
