Not quite. A better statement would be "Be Thankful That You Live in the Most Peaceful Era in Human History. But It Will Soon Be Extremely Violent to Make Up For Lost Time."

As the people who have personally known a World War gradually disappear, we will stumble into the Next Big One. That one will be far more violent and fatal than the last Big One.

It won't be long in coming. "Be Thankful for the Peace" while you can still enjoy it.
