Profound thought of the day

Most people will say they want peace. But peace really means at least three separate things.

1. There is no war.
2. The war is over, we won
3. The war is over, we lost.

That last is functionally equivalent to: We are badly oppressed but can't fight back.

Suddenly peace doesn't look so good.
