— George Washington

Simplified Meaning:
If a country is ready for a fight, others are less likely to attack it because they know it can defend itself well. For instance, if a neighborhood is known for having a strong police presence, criminals might avoid causing trouble there. This idea can apply to individuals, too. If a person is confident and stands up for themselves, bullies are less likely to pick on them. Being well-prepared acts as a deterrent, making potential attackers think twice before causing conflict. So, staying prepared and strong can actually help keep things peaceful and safe.
