"Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago"

This quote by Colman McCarthy is a suggestion that violence and war have belonged of human history for a long time. It suggests that despite our best shots, war and violence have actually not been removed and that our attempts to do so have actually been not successful. The quote indicates that if our efforts to end war had succeeded, our problems would have been solved a very long time ago. This quote works as a pointer that we need to continue to pursue peace and work to end violence and war. It likewise acts as a caution that if we do not continue to work towards peace, our issues will continue to persist.
