About this Quote

This quote by Robert E. Lee speaks with the tragedy of war and how it can fill our hearts with hatred rather of love for our next-door neighbors. War is a harsh thing that can tear apart families, neighborhoods, and nations. It can create deep departments in between individuals and can lead to an absence of understanding and compassion. War can also lead to a cycle of violence and revenge, as people look for retribution for the wrongs done to them. War can likewise cause a loss of innocence, as people are exposed to the horrors of war and the suffering of others. War can likewise result in a loss of hope, as people struggle to make sense of the senseless violence and destruction. War can likewise result in a loss of trust, as individuals become suspicious of their next-door neighbors and worry for their safety. War is a vicious thing that can fill our hearts with hatred rather of love for our neighbors.
