"我々の理想や法律、慣習は、それぞれの世代が資源の絶対的所有者ではなく、その管理者となるという命題に基づくべきである。"
— Alberto Moravia

Simplified Meaning:
We should think about our environment and resources as something we borrow from our children and grandchildren, not as something we own completely. Imagine you borrow a book from a friend; you wouldn't damage it because you know it has to be returned in good condition. Similarly, we should treat our planet and its resources carefully so that future generations can use them too. For example, instead of cutting down all the trees, we can plant more to replace the ones we use. By doing this, we ensure that the land, water, and air stay healthy and available for the next generation. This mindset helps us make choices that protect our world, ensuring everyone has what they need, now and in the future.
