“We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, to achieve peace, we may need to go through struggles and challenges instead of just waiting for everything to be calm and harmonious on its own. Imagine two kids arguing over a toy. They might need to discuss their feelings, understand each other, and maybe even make some compromises to stop their fighting and become friends again. Similarly, countries might stand up to injustice or defend themselves to create a peaceful society where everyone feels safe and respected. Standing up for what is right might be tough, but it can lead to a more peaceful and fair outcome. In our own lives, this could mean having difficult conversations or standing up to wrongdoing to make sure the environment is just and kind for everyone. Seeking peace sometimes involves facing difficulties head-on and working through them.
