Summary

This quote suggests that although many people desire peace, they often fail to actively promote or endorse policies that actually contribute to peace. As free individuals, we tend to prioritize our own version of peace, seeking to achieve it through means that align with our personal preferences. This highlights a disconnect between the desire for peace and the willingness to support the necessary actions or initiatives that can foster it. The quote challenges the idea that mere prayers or aspirations for peace are sufficient without genuine support for policies that promote it, highlighting the need for collective actions in attaining true peace.
