"戦争は、すべてを貪り食う破壊者に対して私たちの命を守る限り必要だが、私は剣の輝きが鋭いから、矢の速さがあるからでも、戦士の栄光があるからでもなく、それらが守るものだけを愛する。"
— 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.
