It emphasizes that wars begin in the minds of individuals, fueled by fear and mistrust, rather than on battlefields. The author argues that core values such as non-violence and compassion are crucial for fostering dialogue and understanding. Instead of focusing solely on defense strategies, he advocates for integrating peace education and emotional resilience into societal frameworks, highlighting that nurturing these qualities can help create harmonious societies.
