This statement means that this earth was not gifted to us by our forefathers but our children gave this earth to us.
This statement signifies that man life is full of illusions and confusions that’s why he think that he is the king of this world but he don’t think about his arrogance due to which this world can be destructed.
Everyone says, “it is my land” and “that is your land.” People fight for other territories and encroach the neighbor’s land. It is here what British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher’s observation gains importance. We are not supposed to occupy the earth considering that the planet belongs to us and that we can exploit the planet any way we like. We, on the contrary, have to extract the resources so carefully that the generation that comes after us will have a better land and sea, a less dense forest, cleaner water and clearer sky.
