"لا يمكن صنع السلام إلا من قبل الأشخاص المسالمين ولا يمكن إظهار الحب إلا من قبل الأشخاص المحبين"
— Alan Watts
Simplified Meaning:
For someone to bring peace, they must already be calm and at peace themselves. Imagine a teacher trying to help students solve conflicts; if the teacher is always angry or stressed, it will be hard for them to create a peaceful classroom. In the same way, only those who feel and understand love can truly show love to others. Just like in a family, parents who show love towards each other and their children create a loving home environment. In both cases, the qualities of peace and love must be present within a person before they can share them. So, if you want to spread peace or love, you need to cultivate these qualities in yourself first.
