"El hecho más impactante sobre la guerra es que sus víctimas y sus instrumentos son seres humanos individuales y que estos seres individuales están condenados por las monstruosas convenciones de la política a matar o ser asesinados en disputas ajenas."
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
War is a terrible event because it involves real people who suffer and die. These people are often forced to fight and kill others or risk being killed themselves. This usually happens not because of their own personal issues, but because of larger political problems decided by leaders. Imagine a young soldier going to battle; he didn’t choose to start a war, but he has to face the deadly consequences. This situation happens because of rules and decisions made by those in power, not by the soldiers themselves. Understanding this helps us see how tragic and unfair war can be for the individuals caught in it.
