About this Quote

This quote by Margot Kidder speaks with the idealism of youth and the desire to develop a better world. It reflects the idea that when we are young, we are frequently idealistic and enthusiastic about developing a better world. We want to challenge the status quo and produce a world where money and wars are not the primary focus. We want to develop a world where individuals are valued and appreciated, and where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We wish to develop a world where love and kindness are the main worths. Unfortunately, as we age, we frequently end up being more jaded and cynical, and our idealism disappears. But this quote reminds us that we ought to always remember our vibrant idealism and strive to produce a much better world.
