Summary

This quote implies that simply avoiding warfare is insufficient; instead, one must actively embrace peace and be willing to make sacrifices for its attainment. Mere avoidance of conflict does not guarantee the presence of genuine peace, as it requires individuals to cultivate a profound love and dedication to peaceful resolutions. It suggests that peace is an active pursuit, calling for personal sacrifices in order to create a harmonious and nonviolent world.
