"Les gens cherchent des histoires dans tout."
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
People want to find and understand stories in everything around them. It's like when someone sees dark clouds; they might say, "It looks like it's going to rain," creating a small story about the weather. Stories help us make sense of things, like why someone might be late to a meeting ("maybe there was traffic") or why a friend looks sad ("perhaps they had a bad day"). This search for stories is also why we enjoy movies and books, as they show us different experiences and emotions. To apply this to life, when you notice something unusual or interesting, try to think of the story behind it. Doing this can help you empathize with others and better understand the world around you.
