"全体的な社会環境が幻滅と絶望を促す時、希望は急進的な変革のためのあらゆる政治闘争にとって不可欠です。"
— Karl A. Menninger
Simplified Meaning:
When people try to make big changes in society, they need hope to keep going, especially when the world around them feels dark and discouraging. Imagine fighting for equal rights. If everyone gives up because they think nothing will ever change, then change will never happen. But if people hold on to hope, they have the energy and courage to continue their fight. For example, during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, many people felt hopeless because of widespread racism, but leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. inspired hope. This hope kept people motivated to protest, march, and demand justice, eventually leading to important changes in laws and attitudes. So, to drive major changes, hope acts like fuel that keeps activists moving forward even when things seem tough.
