Summary

This quote suggests that having a "bad" peace, or a surface-level resolution to a conflict without addressing underlying issues, can be more damaging than the conflict itself. It implies that a faulty or insincere peace may only mask problems temporarily and could lead to future tensions or unrest. It highlights the importance of achieving a genuine and lasting peace by addressing the root causes of a conflict, rather than settling for a superficial resolution that fails to address the underlying issues.
