“Peace is not the absence of war but the presence of justice”

Harrison Ford

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you and your neighbors are not fighting, but there's still a lot of unfairness and problems in your neighborhood. This quote means that just because people are not battling it out, it doesn't mean everything is okay. True peace happens when everyone is treated fairly, and there is justice. For example, think about a classroom. If no one is shouting or arguing, it seems peaceful, but if some students are bullied and the teacher does nothing, it's not a fair or just place. Only when every student feels safe and respected, and the teacher ensures everyone follows the rules, can the classroom be truly peaceful. In real life, if a country isn't at war but people inside are suffering from injustice, discrimination, or poverty, it isn't truly peaceful either. By working towards fairness and justice for all, we can create a stronger and more genuine peace, both in small communities and the entire world.
