"La guerre doit être tant que nous défendons nos vies contre un destructeur qui voudrait tout dévorer ; mais je n'aime pas l'épée brillante pour son tranchant, ni la flèche pour sa rapidité, ni le guerrier pour sa gloire. J'aime seulement ce qu'ils défenden"
— 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.
