The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives

Summary

This quote suggests that while victory may seem to favor one side, peace benefits both sides involved in a conflict. Though the god of Victory is portrayed as having one hand, symbolizing an unbalanced outcome, peace creates a situation where both parties can find success and fulfillment. It implies that seeking peace and resolving conflicts through diplomatic means can lead to mutually advantageous outcomes, contrasting the idea that winning at all costs is the only path to victory.

Socrates famously said that the unconsidered life is not worth living. He meant that a life lived without forethought or principle is a life so vulnerable to chance, and so dependent on the choices and actions of others, that it is of little real value to the person living it. He further meant that a life well lived is one which has goals, and integrity, which is chosen and directed by the one who lives it, to the fullest extent possible to a human agent caught in the webs of society and history.http://www.acgrayling.com/meaningintro.html

If I go into a sandwich shop or anywhere that features 'Today's specials' on a chalkboard more than 10 feet away, I have to ask for a printed menu. I smile at people I don't know on the street and ignore those I do. When at home, I often find myself grabbing my 'back-up' glasses to search for the better-loved pair I have left on top of my dresser.
