Simplified Meaning:

When people choose not to use violence, they never truly lose. Instead of fighting with fists or weapons, they rely on peaceful methods such as talking, protesting, or refusing to do something they believe is wrong. This approach aims to bring about change without causing harm. For example, think about Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement in the United States. He and many others protested peacefully to gain equal rights for African Americans. Even when they were attacked or arrested, their peaceful actions inspired many and eventually led to significant improvements in laws and society. By staying peaceful, they showed tremendous strength and willpower. This way, they achieved their goals over time without resorting to violence. So, choosing peace can be very powerful, and even if it seems like you haven't won immediately, you're making a positive difference that can lead to real, lasting change. In your own life, when you face a disagreement or a problem, try to solve it by talking and understanding, rather than getting angry or aggressive. This method might take patience, but it helps you reach a solution that is fair and doesn't hurt anyone.
