"私たちの人生が単純に明暗に分かれているわけではありません。曖昧な中間地帯があります。"
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Life isn’t just made up of good times and bad times; there are moments that are somewhere in between. Imagine a day that’s mostly sunny but has some clouds – it’s not completely sunny or completely cloudy, it’s a mix. Similarly, our experiences often blend happiness and sadness, or success and failure. For instance, losing a sports game might make you feel disappointed, but you could also feel proud of how much you’ve improved. Understanding this helps us see that life is more complex and not just black and white. To apply this, try to appreciate the middle-ground moments, knowing they are a normal part of life.
