"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.'
And while I think it is better than children and people are raised in times of peace, I know that becoming too distant from things like war or genocide cultivate a kind of....cultural anesthesia. I read somewhere else that 45% of Americans can't even name one WW2 concentration camp. That's disturbing.
If we forget history, we repeat it. But if we do not create peace from that history, we also repeat it.

I don't know where the middle ground is.
