— Thomas Paine

Simplified Meaning:
The saying means that if there are problems or conflicts, it's better for them to happen now rather than later, so that future generations can have a calm and peaceful life. Imagine a parent who works hard and sacrifices a lot to ensure their child has a good education and a better future. The parent might face stress and difficulties, but they do it so their child can avoid those struggles and live well. Similarly, someone might fight against injustice today so that their children can live in a fairer and safer world tomorrow. This way, they take on the burden now to provide a better life for the next generation. By handling tough situations today, they help create a brighter, more peaceful future for their loved ones.
