“War doesn’t negate decency. It demands it, even more than in times of peace.”
This quote is an aphorism. Baba is the character in the book who seems to offer wisdom to not only the other characters, but also the reader. This quote embodies the truth about war, a thing that has been all too common for many years. When times are hard, it seems easier to lash out and behave like there are no consequences. But just because it is a time of struggle for you does not mean that the victim of your indecency is not also struggling. By treating each other with kindness, people will feel better about themselves and the situation they are in. It is not a cure, but a remedy. And until there is a cure for war, a remedy to subdue the aches and pains will have to do.
