Sadly, I fear you are right.  I was born in 1937 and, though I have never done an actual "fact check' I believe there has been a war going on somewhere in the world all of my life.  I agree with Pope Francis that we are already, in fact, involved in the third world war.  There is a very real possibility that we will destroy humanity in the process.  Taking Christ seriously and following his example is our only hope.  Will we ever learn?  Peace to you also.
