Oh, the irony of war! How can it be that weapons be deployed to bring about peace? The very act of bringing arms is a sign of discord and unrest. What folly is this, to think that violence will bring an end to violence? Surely this is a false hope, for it only leads to more death and destruction. Is there no other way than through arms and aggression? Can we not find a path to resolution without bloodshed? Must we always resort to force in order to achieve our goals? Alas, it seems that in times of conflict, the sword is oftentimes seen as the only answer. But what if instead we chose diplomacy and understanding over brute strength? Wouldn’t that be a better solution for all involved parties? Perhaps then we could finally put an end to this seemingly never-ending cycle of violence.
