Picture yourself coming into the world in 1900. At the age of 14, the First World War starts and concludes when you're 18, taking 22 million lives.

Subsequently, a global plague, known as the Spanish Flu, emerges, claiming 50 million souls. You're alive and 20 years old.

By the time you're 29, you endure the worldwide financial crisis triggered by the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, resulting in inflation, joblessness, and famine.

At the age of 33, the Nazi regime gains power.

You experience the outbreak of World War II at 39, which concludes when you're 45, costing 60 million lives.

The Korean War commences when you turn 52.

You're 64 when the Vietnam War erupts and concludes at 75.

A person, say born in 1985, might presume that older generations are unaware of life's challenges, not realizing that they have weathered numerous wars and disasters.

The pandemic, social divison and now the economic downturn has taken a toll on. We're afraid, exhausted, and have lost loved ones. Fear has gripped us.

Despite past hardships, human beings persevered and triumphed in the face of adversity.

Better days, await us.
