"たとえ月が私に彼女の心を約束しても"
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you really want something special from someone or a situation. This phrase means that even if you get an amazing offer or gift (like the moon promising her heart), it might not be realistic or it could be impossible to get. For example, think about a friend who says they will always be there for you no matter what. It might be a lovely promise, but sometimes life gets in the way, and they can't actually be there all the time. The idea is to understand that some promises, no matter how wonderful, might not always come true. It helps you to stay hopeful but also realistic about what people can genuinely offer and what you can expect in life. So, when you hear grand promises, appreciate them but also be ready for the fact that not everything promised can be delivered.
