"La guerre peut parfois être un mal nécessaire. Mais peu importe à quel point elle est nécessaire, elle est toujours un mal, jamais un bien. Nous n'apprendrons pas à vivre ensemble en paix en tuant les enfants les uns des autres."
— Jimmy Carter
Simplified Meaning:
War can sometimes be something that people think is needed to solve problems, but it always brings bad things with it. Even if people believe war is needed, it cannot be called good because it causes a lot of harm and suffering. Think about how hurting each other and causing pain doesn’t teach us how to get along better. For example, if two kids fight over a toy and one hurts the other, they don’t learn to share the toy; they just end up feeling worse. In the same way, countries fighting wars won’t learn how to live peacefully; they will just create more anger and sadness. Instead, we should find ways to solve our differences without violence so we can truly understand and respect each other.
