Ours is the century of enforced travel. . . of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon.

Summary

This quote alludes to the prevalent nature of travel and separation in the modern era. It suggests that in our current century, people are compelled to travel, often without a choice, due to various factors. These circumstances lead to a significant number of disappearances, as loved ones and acquaintances are continuously moving away, vanishing from sight, and leaving others feeling helpless and far apart. It reflects the transient and detached nature of relationships in our increasingly mobile society.
