“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:

Real peace isn't just when people stop fighting or when there’s no stress. Real peace happens when everyone is treated fairly and gets what they deserve. Think of a classroom where kids aren’t arguing; if some kids are still being bullied or treated unfairly, there’s no true peace. True peace comes when those bullies are addressed and fairness is restored. In life, if laws aren’t fair or people face discrimination, tension might be low, but justice hasn’t been achieved. So to truly live in peace, society must work towards fairness for everyone.
