Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.

Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.

Summary

This quote suggests that when peace propaganda becomes too loud and prevalent, it can paradoxically create an atmosphere that makes war feel increasingly likely. By excessively promoting peace and highlighting the need for it, the emphasis on potential conflict and danger intensifies. This can fuel an underlying sense of tension, creating the impression that war is on the horizon. The quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the unintended consequences that excessive or exaggerated peace messaging might have in shaping people's perception of the likelihood of war.

I have been a hundred times on the point of killing myself, but still was fond of life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our worst instincts. What can be more absurd than choosing to carry a burden that one really wants to throw to the ground? To detest, and yet to strive to preserve our existence? To caress the serpent that devours us, and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?
