“War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children”
— 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.
