"作られる銃ごとに進水される軍艦ごとに発射されるロケットごとに空腹で飢えた人々寒さで服を持たない人々からの盗みを意味する"

Simplified Meaning:

When a country spends money on weapons and military equipment, that money could have been used to help people who need food and clothes. For instance, think about a family that has to choose between buying groceries or paying for expensive gadgets. If they spend all their money on gadgets, they won’t have enough left to buy food. In a similar way, if governments focus on building armies and buying weapons, they might not have resources left to support the poor, provide healthcare, or improve education. This quote suggests that investing in war and weapons is like taking away the chance for a better life from those who are struggling to survive. Instead, that money could feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and overall improve the well-being of society. Applying this idea to our lives, it means we should make choices that help others and address real needs, rather than spending on things that cause harm or don’t add much value to people’s lives. By prioritizing basic human needs, we contribute to creating a more compassionate and just world.
