For you see, the face of destiny or luck or god that gives us war also gives us other kinds of pain: the loss of health and youth; the loss of loved ones or of love; the fear that we will end our days alone. Some people suffer in peace the way others suffer in war.

In this way, anger can teach us forgiveness, hate can teach us love, and war can teach us peace.
