“We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the positive affirmation of peace.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Simplified Meaning:
To make the world better, it’s not enough to just stop fighting and avoid war. We also need to focus on building and maintaining peace. Think about a school playground. It’s not enough for kids to stop bullying each other; they should also learn to share, play together nicely, and become friends. In history, after World War II, countries didn't just stop fighting; they also came together to create the United Nations to help solve problems and keep peace. In your own life, if you’ve had an argument with a friend, you should not only stop arguing but work on rebuilding trust and being kind to each other. By focusing on positive actions that promote understanding and cooperation, we create a better environment for everyone.
