Quote by Hannah Arendt
If you ask a member of this generation two simple questions: How do you want the world to be in fifty years? and What do you want your life to be like five years from now? the answers are quite often preceded by Provided there is still a world and Provided I am still alive. To the often-heard question, Who are they, this new generation? one is tempted to answer, Those who hear the ticking. And to the other question, Who are they who utterly deny them? the answer may well be, Those who do not know, or refuse to face, things as they really are.
Summary
This quote highlights the concerns and uncertainties faced by the younger generation when asked about their aspirations for the future. The conditional language used in their responses reflects their awareness of the pressing global issues and potential threats to their own existence. It signifies their recognition of the challenges ahead and their refusal to ignore the realities of the world. On the other hand, those who deny or dismiss these concerns are seen as uninformed or unwilling to confront the truth of the current state of affairs.
