Summary

This quote suggests that peace can be achieved by avoiding involvement in the conflicts and disagreements that are inherent in life. By being blind, deaf, and dumb, metaphorically speaking, a person would be shielded from seeing or hearing about disconcerting events or engaging in arguments or debates. However, this interpretation is ironic as it implies that true peace may only come from ignorance and silence, which may not be desirable or realistic. It challenges the idea of peace as a passive state, encouraging us to consider a more proactive and engaged approach to promoting harmonious coexistence.
