Summary

This quote highlights a tendency observed in peace congresses, where valuable time and energy are expended on addressing minor issues in great depth, leaving insufficient room to tackle the more crucial and pressing problems. It suggests that the disproportionate focus on lesser matters ultimately undermines the ability of these conferences to address the root causes or core challenges inhibiting peace. As a result, the quote implies that peace summits should prioritize the crucial matters, ensuring they receive the attention and deliberation they deserve for meaningful resolutions.
