"La guerra debe ser mientras defendamos nuestras vidas contra un destructor que devoraría todo; pero no amo la brillante espada por su agudeza, ni la flecha por su rapidez, ni al guerrero por su gloria. Solo amo aquello que ellos defienden."
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we need to fight to protect ourselves from those who want to harm us. However, it's not about loving violence or the tools of war. The true value lies in what we're fighting for—our homes, families, and the things that make life worth living. Imagine a firefighter running into a burning building. They don’t love the fire or the danger; they do it to save lives and protect people. In life, while standing up to challenges or injustices, remember that the purpose is not to seek conflict but to safeguard the well-being and safety of those we care about. Balancing courage with the love for peace highlights what is truly important.
