The author, Jean Sasson, expresses a concern regarding the current generation of children, suggesting that their comfortable lives have led to a decline in their ambition and fulfillment. She implies that a lack of challenges and struggles has hindered their ability to aspire to greater things.
Sasson further links this generational decay to the weaknesses within the Saudi monarchy, attributing it to a culture of excess and extravagance. She warns that this dependence on luxury could ultimately contribute to significant problems for the monarchy's future.
