“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle”
— Edmund Burke
Simplified Meaning:
If people with bad intentions team up, then good people need to stick together too. Otherwise, the bad people will slowly defeat or harm the good ones, one by one, without anyone caring or helping them. Imagine a group of bullies in school who start working together to pick on others. If the children being bullied each try to face the bullies alone, they’ll likely lose or get hurt. But if the kids stand up together, support each other, and maybe even get help from teachers, they can stop the bullies more effectively. This advice tells us that unity and teamwork among good people are really important when facing challenges or threats, and sticking together makes you much stronger than facing problems alone. By applying this, anyone who feels threatened or outnumbered can look for allies and work together to protect and support each other.
