"关于战争最令人震惊的事实是，它的受害者和工具都是一个个个体的人类，而这些个人被政治的怪诞惯例所谴责，要么去谋杀他人，要么被杀于与己无关的争吵里。"
— 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.
