"人生を避けることで平和は得られません。"
— Virginia Woolf
Simplified Meaning:
To feel calm and happy inside, you can't just run away from your problems or ignore what happens in your life. Imagine you're afraid of a big test at school. If you skip the test because you're scared, you might feel relieved for a moment, but the worry will come back because you still have to face more tests in the future. Instead, you could study hard and face the test, and once it’s over, you'll feel proud and more confident. In life, avoiding challenges, tough situations, or hard decisions might seem easier, but it usually makes things worse in the long run. By dealing with these things head-on, you build strength and eventually feel more at peace because you've learned and grown from those experiences. Facing life directly helps you understand that you can handle more than you thought, leading to a more peaceful mind.
