“We live in a time when young people are touched not so much by lack, but by too full. Too many voices demand attention, too many images demand the soul, too many worries demand the heart before it settles down. These interferences – screens, social pressure, merciless comparisons, fear of not being “enough” – tire them out. Out of this fatigue are born restlessness, anxiety, self-run, nameless sadness and a paradoxical loneliness, lived even in the middle of the crowd. Today’s youth is neither evil nor lazy; they are often hurt, confused, and uneducated how to be quiet with themselves.”
