That's why I just translate it and give it to an editor with tons of notes
Unedited quote:
A few of this eras leaders, serving their own conceited desires in the name of justice brought about wars in every corner of the Earth Sphere. The almost meaningless contest for power ultimately forced a vast majority of the masses to suffer poverty, starvation and bloodshed. However, it is possible to think that the reason why we continue to wander in the darkness even now is a result of mankind taking off into outer space before our wings had fully developed.

戦うことに存在意義があるのかもしれない。
戦っている人間には充実感がある。

So why do people fight, anyway?
Perhaps the meaning of existence lies within their will to fight.
People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle.
And it’s also a fact that the ones actually fighting are never perceived as being tainted.
