Summary

This quote is a paradoxical expression of a desire for fear as a means to maintain peace. The speaker aims to instill a sense of intimidation in others as a deterrent, rather than as a direct intention for conflict. By suggesting that being feared can lead to a peaceful state, the quote challenges the assumption that aggression alone can establish peace. It suggests the possibility of achieving tranquility by projecting strength and power, which may dissuade adversaries from engaging in hostile actions.
