"それぞれの世代は疑いもなく世界を改革する責任を感じる。私の世代はそれを改革しないことを知っているが、その任務はおそらくさらに大きい。それは世界が自己破壊するのを防ぐことにある。"
— Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:
People often believe that their generation has the responsibility to improve the world. However, some may realize that making the world perfect is impossible. Instead, their important job is to stop things from getting worse or from falling apart completely. For example, imagine a family living in a house that’s getting old and falling apart. If they can’t afford to make it like new, their main work should be to keep it from collapsing. That way, they can ensure the safety and well-being of their family. Likewise, we might not fix all of the world’s problems, but we should stop it from becoming a disaster. By doing this, we protect and preserve what we have for future generations.
