"There is no permanent peace in human history, so I wouldn't expect that, but there have been periods of abundance that have been enriched by decades of peace. If we have to leave some legacy for the next generation, I think The best legacy is peace. It is the responsibility of the next generation to maintain the peace left by the previous generation. If each generation does not forget its responsibility to the next generation, peace may be maintained for a long time. If you forget yourself The responsibility of the ancestors, the legacy of the ancestors will be eaten up, and mankind will have to start from scratch. Well, that is not a bad thing. All in all, the most I hope for is peace in the next few decades. But that is better than even if it is only One time the war was tens of thousands of times better. I have a fourteen-year-old boy at home, and I don't want to see this kid sent to the battlefield. That's how it is."
