“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.”
— Leo Tolstoy
Simplified Meaning:
When people genuinely stand up for what they believe in, instead of just following orders or going along with what others say, conflicts like wars wouldn't happen. Picture a group of friends trying to decide what game to play; if each person clearly shares their favorite game and they all listen to each other, they'll find a way to play together without arguing. Historically, wars often start because leaders force their ideas on others without caring about everyone's personal beliefs. By listening to our own convictions and respecting others', we avoid unnecessary fighting. In everyday life, if you focus on your true beliefs and respect others' views, you'll have fewer conflicts and better relationships. This approach promotes understanding and peace in both small and large groups.
