Context: War forgets peace. Peace forgives war. War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine. Our vital passions want war. Our psychic emotions desire peace.
“It is human nature not to forgive easily and not to forget easily. However, this is one of the important tasks of mankind, to always create brotherhood and peace.”
