"剣は誰も殺さないそれは道具です"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is saying that a sword, by itself, cannot harm anyone; it’s just an object. What really matters is who uses the sword and how they use it. For example, in history, swords have been used by soldiers to protect their homeland or by criminals to cause harm. It's the person holding the sword that decides its purpose. If a tool falls into the wrong hands, it can be used for bad things, but in the right hands, it can do good things. Similarly, in our everyday lives, tools like technology or social media can be used to either spread kindness or create problems, depending on how people use them.
