Dissecting Quotes #12

          This is the twelfth edition of the series "Dissecting Quotes", where I choose a quote and briefly describe what I think the quote means and how to apply it to our everyday lives. I hope the insight a high schooler can provide can help brighten a day or get you thinking.

"A people free to choose will always choose peace"

-Ronald Regan

         Many people have thought about world peace, about why it is so hard to achieve it. Peace is a precious thing, and even though many people do not work to see peace, deep down they really desire to have peace and there not to be any strife. Without any other people telling them what to do, humans really want peace, the only reason they go to war is for peace, which is ironic in itself. We should think about what we would choose if we didn't have anyone over us telling us what to think, or what to do.
