Summary

This quote suggests that the journey towards peace is a collective effort that spans across generations. Similar to the construction of a grand cathedral, achieving peace requires a visionary leader, symbolizing the master-architect, who lays the foundation and conceptualizes the path to peace. However, to bring this vision to life, the endeavors and contributions of numerous individuals are essential, representing the laborers who work together towards a common goal. It emphasizes the idea that sustained peace is not achieved through immediate solutions, but rather through the collective and ongoing commitment of many.
