"Mais tout allait bien tout allait bien la lutte était terminée Il avait remporté la victoire sur lui-même Il aimait Big Brother"
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
This quote suggests that a person finally accepted something they had been fighting against for a long time. They stopped resisting or feeling unhappy about it. Imagine someone who initially hates a new rule at work, feeling it is unfair and difficult to follow. Over time, they start to understand and agree with the rule’s purpose. Eventually, they come to genuinely support and embrace it. In the quote, the person no longer feels conflicted and has found peace by changing their own thoughts and feelings. They have gained a sense of victory because now they fully support what they once resisted. This can apply to life when we face difficult situations; sometimes changing our mindset helps us find peace and acceptance.
