Summary

This quote highlights the ignorance and arrogance of youth due to lack of experience or awareness of the potential negative outcomes. It uses the analogy of a turkey that regularly approaches a farmer for food, oblivious to the fact that it is being fattened up for Thanksgiving. The quote suggests that the turkey is not to blame for its actions, as it simply lacks the knowledge of the consequences awaiting it. Similarly, young people often exhibit arrogance because they have yet to face the harsh realities and consequences of life.
