"Toute oppression crée un état de guerre"
— Simone de Beauvoir

Simplified Meaning:
When people are kept down and treated unfairly, it feels like being in a constant fight. Think of any group that has been treated badly because of their race, gender, or beliefs. These people naturally feel angry and upset. Imagine if someone at your school or workplace was always picking on you and being unfair. You would feel stressed and always ready to defend yourself. This kind of situation creates tension and conflict, just like a war. For a more peaceful life, it's important to treat everyone fairly and with respect, so nobody feels like they are under attack all the time.
