You have to be a calm adult. Don't be emotional, don't miss me secretly, and don't look back. Live your own other life. You have to be obedient, not all fish will live in the same sea. --"dance! dance! dance! ”

When we were young, we pursued passion, but when we matured, we were obsessed with mediocrity. After we have searched, been hurt, and betrayed, we can still believe in love as always. This is a kind of courage. Everyone has his own forest. Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again. ——"Norwegian Wood"

Maybe I am defeated, maybe I am lost, maybe I can't reach anywhere, maybe I have lost everything, no matter how hard I struggle, I can only do nothing, maybe I am just struggling in vain. Turning the ruins into ashes, I am the only one left in the dark. Perhaps no one here has placed a bet on me. It doesn't matter, one thing is clear: at least I have something worth waiting for and worth seeking. —"The Journey of Strange Birds"

"I like you the most, Midoriko."

"To what extent?"

"Like a bear who loves spring "

"A bear in spring?" Midoriko raised his face again, "What a bear in spring?"

"You are walking alone in the spring field. A cute little bear came over, with fur like velvet and round eyes. It said to you: "Hello, miss, would you like to roll with me?" Then you hugged the little bear. I spent a whole day rolling down the clover-covered hillside. ”

“That’s great.”

“That’s it for me. I like you." - "Norwegian Wood"

If you fall into the darkness, all you can do is wait quietly until your eyes adapt to the darkness. ——"Norwegian Wood"

Every day is almost the same repetition. Yesterday and the day before yesterday were reversed and there was no inconvenience. I often think, what kind of life is this? But I didn’t feel that my time was wasted. I was just surprised. I was surprised that there was no difference between yesterday and the day before yesterday. I was surprised that I was programmed into such a life. I was surprised that the footprints I left behind were blown away by the wind in an instant before I could even recognize them. Without a trace. ——"Sleep"

I am tired of the life of hating others, the life of being unable to love anyone. I don't have even one friend, not even one. Most importantly, I couldn’t even love myself. Why can't I love myself? It's because you can't love others. One needs to love someone and be loved by someone in order to learn how to love oneself. Do you get me? People who do not love others cannot love themselves correctly. ——"1Q84"

I am the kind of person who likes to be alone, or the kind of person who doesn't suffer from being alone. I don't talk to anyone for an hour or two every day, whether I'm running alone or writing articles, I don't feel bored. Rather than doing things with others, I prefer reading alone in silence or listening to music with all my concentration. I can think of many things that only one person can do. ——"What do I talk about when I talk about running"

After a certain age, the so-called life is nothing more than a process of constant loss. Things that are precious to your life will slip out of your hands one after another, like a comb with broken teeth. What falls into your hands instead are all inferior and inferior products that are not worth mentioning. Physical strength, hope, dreams and ideals, faith and meaning, or the people you love - one by one, one by one, they slip away from you. And once it disappears, you can never find it again, or even find a replacement. This is really tough. Sometimes it's like cutting my body with a knife, which is unspeakably painful. ——"1Q84"

Where there is light, there must be shadows, and where there are shadows, there must be light. There is no light without shadow, and there is no shadow without light.

Carl Jung said this in a book: 'The shadow is an evil being, just as we humans are positive beings. The more we strive to be good, good, and perfect people, the more clearly the shadow manifests its dark, evil, and destructive will. When man tries to become perfect beyond his own capacity, the shadow goes to hell and becomes a devil. Because in this nature, it is as sinful for a person to try to become higher than oneself as it is to try to become lower than oneself. ——"1Q84"

"I hope you remember me." Saeki said, "As long as you remember me, it doesn't matter if everyone else forgets me." ——"Kafka on the Shore" < /p>

Everyone has become adults and each has a different life circle, so this is helpless to a certain extent. We are no longer naive high school students. But even so, it is still sad to see things that were once important fade away and disappear. After all, they are people who have spent the vibrant times together and grown up together. ——"Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Pilgrimage Years"

Mediocrity is like a stain on a white shirt. Once stained, it can never be washed away and is irreversible. --"dance! dance! dance! 》

The mountains and rivers are lonely, the streets are in order, and the residents are peaceful. It's a pity that people have no figure, no memory, and no heart. Men and women can date each other but cannot fall in love. Love must have a heart, and the heart has been embedded in countless unicorn skulls and turned into an ancient dream. ——"The End of the World and Cold Wonderland"

Don't hold hands casually because of loneliness, and then rely on you. It's great to be free. Even if you are wandering, that experience is better than a prison-like life, so I deliberately don't let it I am too dependent on the Internet, and I keep an indifferent attitude towards the people I have lost. Among the thousands of people who pass by me, whoever you give a chance will be destined to you. Even if there is no A, there will be B. ——"Norwegian Forest"

Hearts and hearts can not only be united through harmony, but can blend more deeply through pain. Pain and pain, fragility and fragility connect each other's hearts. In every tranquility, there is always a cry of grief hidden; behind every forgiveness, there is always blood spilled on the ground; in every acceptance, there is always a painful loss. This is what lies deep within true harmony. ——"Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" Haruki Murakami

People and life are essentially lonely and helpless. So we need to interact with people in order to understand each other. But is mutual understanding really possible? No, impossible, fatalistically impossible, the search for understanding is futile. So, why bother trying so hard? Why can't you change your attitude?

In other words, instead of trying to eliminate loneliness and resolve helplessness through interaction, it is better to step back and play with loneliness and helplessness!

History books tell us that we are basically the same in the past as we are today. Although there are differences in clothing and lifestyle, our thoughts and behaviors have not changed much.

And genetic factors never think about what is good and what is evil. They don't care whether we are happy or unhappy. ——Haruki Murakami's "Q"
