What about the 20th century was so horrifying?

 Think about what it would be like to be born in 1900. World War I started when you were 14 years old and didn't end until you were 18 years old, with 22 million people killed.

A short while later, the Spanish Flu, a global pandemic, strikes and kills 50 million people. You have been alive for 20 years.

You endure the worldwide economic crisis that resulted from the New York Stock Exchange disaster, which caused inflation, unemployment, and starvation, at the age of 29.

You are 33 years old when Nazism takes hold.

World War II begins when you're 39 and concludes when you're 45, with 60 million people killed.

The Korean War starts when you are 52 years old.

The Vietnam War begins when you're 64 and concludes when you're 75.

For instance, a person born in 1985 could believe that their grandparents have no concept how terrible life is, not realising that they have lived through several wars and natural disasters.

Our current global epidemic has been going on for almost a year. We're terrified and worn out. We lost friends and family members, and we are afraid.

Even harsher circumstances existed in the past, but mankind managed to adapt and live.

I assure you that brighter days are ahead.
