"私は世界全体が謎であり、無害な謎であり、それに潜在的な真実があるかのように解釈しようとする私たちの狂った試みによって恐ろしいものになると信じるようになりました。"
— Umberto Eco

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the world seems confusing and mysterious, but it isn't dangerous unless we stress over trying to find some hidden meaning in everything. Imagine walking through a dense fog. If you try too hard to figure out every shape you see, you might scare yourself with unrealistic fears. Instead, accepting the fog as it is allows you to move forward calmly. When people overanalyze daily events, like why a friend didn't call back, they might create worry from nothing. Instead, understanding that not everything has a deep meaning can help us relax and live more peacefully. By not overcomplicating things, we can enjoy life more and handle situations with a clearer mind.
