Simplified Meaning:

Achieving fairness and equality in society cannot be done through violent actions. When people use force or harm others to try and make things fair, they end up destroying the very things they want to create, like peace and understanding. Imagine you and a classmate both want to be treated equally by a teacher who has favorites. If you start a fight with your classmate to show how unfair the teacher is, you only create more problems. The teacher might see you as a troublemaker, or you might hurt your classmate, making the situation worse. A historical example is Martin Luther King Jr., who fought for the civil rights of African Americans through peaceful protests. Instead of using violence, he inspired many to join his cause by showing the power of non-violent action. If people use non-violent methods, they can build a stronger community based on mutual respect and real change. To apply this to your life, whenever you face an unfair situation, try to address it through calm discussions, peaceful protests, or by seeking help from authorities rather than resorting to aggression. This approach helps in building lasting solutions and positive relationships.
