\u201cWhy is it that so many powerful people don\u2019t want peace? Because they live on war! The arms industry: this is grave! The powerful, some of the powerful, profit from the production of arms and they sell arms to this country which is against that one, and then they sell them to the one that goes against this one. It is the industry of death! And they profit. You know, greed does us so much harm: the desire to have more, more and more money. When we see that everything revolves around money \u2014 the economic system revolves around money and not around the person, around man, around woman, but around money \u2014 so much is sacrificed and war is made to protect the money. And because of this, many people don\u2019t want peace. There is more profit with war! Money is earned, but lives are lost, culture is lost, education is lost, so many things are lost. This is why they don\u2019t want it.\u201d
