“All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone is scared of violence and doesn't want to die. If you imagine yourself in someone else's shoes, you wouldn't want to be hurt or killed. So, you should treat others the same way and not hurt or kill them. It's like the golden rule of treating others how you want to be treated. For example, if you wouldn’t want someone to push you, you shouldn't push them either. This idea can help make the world a kinder place by encouraging people to think about how their actions affect others.
