"En tant qu'adhérent de la non-violence je ne peux pas soutenir la guerre de manière cohérente."
— Jeanette Rankin
Simplified Meaning:
Someone who believes in nonviolence cannot agree with the idea of going to war because war involves fighting and hurting other people. Imagine a person who is dedicated to peaceful protests, like Martin Luther King Jr. He believed in standing up for what is right without using violence. If he had supported war, it would have gone against everything he stood for because war causes pain and suffering, which is the opposite of what nonviolence seeks to achieve. For someone who values peace, it's important to find solutions that don't involve harming others. This idea can be applied to daily life by seeking peaceful ways to resolve conflicts, whether they are big problems like disagreements between countries or small ones like arguments with friends. Avoiding violence helps foster a more peaceful and compassionate world.
