"Les gens crient toujours qu'ils veulent créer un avenir meilleur. Ce n'est pas vrai. L'avenir est un vide apathique sans intérêt pour personne."
— Jose Saramago
Simplified Meaning:
Many people say they want to make the future better, but often they don’t really care. They might just be saying it because it sounds good or because others expect them to say it. The future is like an empty space that doesn't seem important to them right now. For example, think about how people promise to take care of the environment for future generations but continue to litter or waste resources because it’s easier for them at the moment. If someone truly wants to improve the future, they need to take small steps today, like recycling or using less plastic. This quote is a reminder to be sincere about our intentions and to match our actions with our words.
