I believe that the children of this generation have decayed with the ease of their lives, and that their great fortune has deprived them of any ambitions or real satisfactions. Surely the weakness of our monarchy in Saudi Arabia is bound up in our addiction to extravagance. I fear it will be our undoing.
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.
