"我不是愤世嫉俗者。我爱我的国家,希望它能实现自己的理想。"
— Ta Nehisi Coates
Simplified Meaning:
This person is saying that they care deeply about their country and believe in its values. They are not being negative or critical just for the sake of it. Think about someone who loves their favorite sports team. When the team plays badly, this fan may point out mistakes, but it’s not because they hate the team—in fact, it’s because they want the team to improve and succeed. Similarly, this person points out flaws in their country because they want it to be as good as it can be. They’re hopeful and believe the country can do better. This attitude encourages people to work on fixing problems rather than ignoring them.
