Summary
This quote suggests that in times of war, it is often the innocent and virtuous individuals who are disproportionately impacted. It implies that war does not discriminate in its consequences and innocent people are dragged into its horrors, while those who initiate or support war may escape unscathed. It highlights the inherent unfairness and indiscriminate nature of conflicts, where good people are unlucky victims while the wicked may perpetrate or instigate violence without facing direct consequences.
