“Peace is not the absence of war but the presence of justice”
— Harrison Ford
Simplified Meaning:
Just because there's no fighting doesn't mean there's true peace. Real peace comes when everyone is treated fairly and justly. Imagine a classroom where no one is yelling or fighting, but some kids are bullied, ignored, or treated unfairly by the teacher. Even though it's quiet, the atmosphere isn't peaceful because there's still unfairness and hurt. In a town, if the laws are fair and everyone gets treated with respect, that’s when you have real peace, not just when people stop arguing or fighting. To truly achieve peace in our lives or communities, we must ensure fairness, equal treatment, and justice for all. For example, a country with fair laws, respect for human rights, and equal opportunities for everyone is more genuinely peaceful than one with no wars but significant discrimination issues.
