“For it can never be that war shall preserve life and peace destroy it”
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
Thinking that war can save lives and peace can take them is completely backwards. War typically results in death, injury, and destruction, while peace allows people to live safely and flourish. Imagine a neighborhood where there's constant fighting; homes are ruined, people are scared to go outside, and many get hurt or die. In contrast, a calm and peaceful neighborhood has children playing, families enjoying meals together, and everyone feeling safe and happy. Just like in everyday life or throughout history, resolving conflicts peacefully leads to better outcomes for everyone. By choosing peace, we create environments where people can thrive, work, and build better futures.
