About this Quote

Pope John Paul II's quote is a call to action for mankind to reflect on the senselessness of war. War is an unjust phenomenon that triggers death and discomfort, yet might have been prevented if the celebrations involved had actually taken a seat to work out. The Pope is urging us to question why war is still a truth in our world, and to think about the consequences of our actions. He is advising us that war is not the only alternative, and that we ought to pursue peace and understanding. We must acknowledge that war is not a solution, which it just brings destruction and suffering. We need to take duty for our actions and pursue a much better future. We should learn from our errors and strive for a more peaceful world. We should bear in mind that war is not the response, and that we should work together to develop a much better future.
