“If I must choose between peace and righteousness, I choose righteousness.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes you have to decide between staying quiet to avoid trouble or speaking up for what is right. Imagine seeing someone being bullied at school. It might be easier and peaceful to stay silent and walk away, but it would be more righteous and just to stand up for the person being bullied, even if it creates tension or conflict. This idea means that doing the right thing is more important than avoiding problems or keeping things calm. It's about having the courage to stand by your principles, even if it means facing difficult situations. In daily life, it could mean speaking out against unfair practices at work, supporting a friend who's being treated badly, or standing up for your beliefs, even if it's uncomfortable.
