"كل جيل بلا شك يشعر أنه مدعو لإصلاح العالم. جيلي يعلم أنه لن يصلحه، لكن مهمته قد تكون أكبر. إنها تتكون في منع العالم من تدمير نفسه."
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
People often believe that their generation has the responsibility to improve the world. However, some may realize that making the world perfect is impossible. Instead, their important job is to stop things from getting worse or from falling apart completely. For example, imagine a family living in a house that’s getting old and falling apart. If they can’t afford to make it like new, their main work should be to keep it from collapsing. That way, they can ensure the safety and well-being of their family. Likewise, we might not fix all of the world’s problems, but we should stop it from becoming a disaster. By doing this, we protect and preserve what we have for future generations.
