Summary

This quote highlights the yearning for peace from the perspective of older people. It suggests that they long for a peaceful world even more than the younger generation because they have directly experienced the consequences of war. Having lost friends or relatives and witnessed lifelong human suffering, they have a deeper understanding of the importance of peace. Their accumulated experiences and the impact war has had on their lives make them advocates for a more tranquil world.
