“A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence.”
— Sigmund Freud

Simplified Meaning:
When a society makes many of its people unhappy, causing them to rebel, it is not stable and won't last long. Picture a workplace where many employees feel they are treated unfairly. They might start protesting, quitting, or trying to change things. This creates chaos and the company could fail. Similarly, if a country or community does not listen to its people and take care of their needs, those people will rise up and challenge the leaders. This unrest can lead to the breakdown of that society. To avoid this, leaders should work to make sure most people are content, heard, and treated fairly.
