“War settles nothing”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simplified Meaning:
Starting a war doesn't actually solve the problems that cause it in the first place. It's like fighting with a friend; even if you win the argument, the issues between you are still there and may even be worse. For example, World War I ended, but it didn't solve the tensions between countries, leading to World War II. Instead of war, finding a peaceful way to talk and understand each other helps more in the long run. People can apply this idea by trying to communicate and listen in conflicts rather than fighting, whether at home, work, or in relationships. It shows that peace and understanding are more effective in bringing lasting solutions.
