Life lesson by Yukio Mishima : Every generation believes it is experiencing something entirely new. Whether it is changing social trends, personal ambitions, or unconventional ways of thinking, young people often feel they are breaking away from the past. While fresh ideas can drive progress, history shows that many challenges, emotions, and behaviors have appeared in different forms across generations. Japanese author Yukio Mishima reflected on this pattern, reminding people that understanding the past can offer valuable perspective on the present.
