“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.”
— Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:
When people listen to their own beliefs and stand up for what they think is right, without trying to force others to agree, there would be no wars. This is because conflicts often start when one group tries to impose their ideas or control others. For example, if you and a friend both have different favorite movies, discussing and respecting each other's choices without arguing can keep the peace. Applying this to life means accepting that others have different viewpoints and not feeling the need to change them forcefully. By doing so, we can have more harmony and fewer conflicts in our relationships and communities. It encourages understanding and respecting differences rather than fighting over them.
