“Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.”
— Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:
Trying to solve problems with violence or weapons never actually works. For example, if two neighbors have a dispute over a fence, fighting each other won't fix the issue; talking and finding a compromise will. When people use force, they often create more problems instead of solving the original one. History shows us many wars that caused a lot of suffering but didn't bring true peace. Instead of fighting, finding peaceful solutions through understanding and cooperation leads to more lasting and positive results. In everyday life, when faced with conflicts, choosing to discuss and understand the other person can help find a solution that works for everyone.
