“There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.”
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
When a country is involved in a long war, it doesn't really gain anything good from it. Think about how in war, many people get hurt or die, families lose loved ones, and homes and cities can be destroyed. The country spends a lot of money on weapons and soldiers, which could have been used for better things like schools or hospitals. For example, during World War II, many European countries faced huge losses, with cities in ruins and millions of people injured or dead, making it hard to rebuild for many years afterward. Instead of improving, the nation suffers from more problems like debt and social issues. So, if a country wants to grow and help its people, staying away from long wars is wiser because peace allows for progress and prosperity.
