"从来没有一场好战争或一段坏和平"
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
War, even with noble reasons, causes pain, suffering, and death. It's hard to find anything truly good about these consequences. For example, during World War II, even though the goal was to stop terrible acts, many innocent people lost their homes and lives. On the other hand, peace, no matter how imperfect, allows people to live without fear. Take a community living peacefully together: they may have disagreements or differences, but they still can go about their daily lives, raise families, and follow their dreams without fearing for their lives. By valuing peace over conflict, people can work together to solve problems and build better lives. It's wise to avoid conflict and strive for peaceful solutions whenever possible, as the benefits of peace far outweigh the temporary gains of war.
