"この世には悪魔はいないし、自然の中にも悪魔はいない。ただ人間が作り出すものだけが存在する。"

Simplified Meaning:
People often talk about bad things as if they come from an outside force, like blaming a devil. However, this quote tells us that the real source of evil is human actions. Imagine a group of children playing peacefully. If one child starts bullying the others, trouble begins. Here, the disturbance comes from the child's behavior, not from some outside devil. Similarly, many problems in the world like war, pollution, or corruption are because of people's choices and actions. This quote reminds us that rather than blaming some evil force, we should look at human behavior and work on improving it. By making better choices, we can reduce the 'devils' we create in our lives and communities.
