Summary
This quote suggests the tendency of wars to create divisions and strained relationships, shifting the focus from loving one's enemies to developing animosity towards allies. During times of conflict, the emphasis might be on prioritizing loyalty and unity within one's own camp, leading individuals and nations to develop a negative perspective towards those who should ideally be close allies. The quote points out the potential consequence of wars on relationships, highlighting the inclination to harbor ill feelings towards those who are meant to be supportive, rather than fostering empathy and understanding towards perceived enemies.
