"耐えがたいほど不幸なときにのみ自分自身を本当に感じることができる。"
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people feel most connected to their true selves when they are extremely sad. It's like when someone has a tough day, loses a job, or goes through a breakup. During these hard times, they might feel emotions very deeply and reflect more on who they are and what they really want in life. This intense sadness strips away all the distractions and forces them to confront their true feelings and thoughts. For example, after a difficult breakup, a person might spend a lot of time thinking about what went wrong and what they want in a future relationship. This process helps them understand themselves better. In a way, feeling deep sadness can push someone to a clearer understanding of their true self.
