Quote by John Hersey
It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons, and talents as materials you can mine, assay, and fabricate for profit and defense.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a nation's perspective on children and their talents become solely focused on using them as tools for personal gain, it demonstrates a lack of a broader vision for the country. Viewing children as weapons implies a cynical and exploitative approach, while considering talents as materials to be extracted and exploited for profit and defense reduces their inherent value. The quote challenges societies to reevaluate their priorities and instead nurture and support children's development holistically, valuing their unique abilities for the betterment of the nation and its people.
