“You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history”
— Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:
Memories are like stories in our minds. We might try to forget or push away some of these stories, but the events they are based on still happened. It's similar to a book: you can choose not to read it, but the words are still on the pages. For example, if someone had a bad experience at their job, they might try to push these thoughts away, but they can't change the fact that it actually happened. This quote reminds us that while we might control how much we think about the past, we can't change the past itself. To live well, it's important to accept what happened and learn from it, rather than ignoring it.
