“Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life.”
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Death is not something separate from life; it is a part of life itself. Think of it like the way a day has both bright daylight and dark nighttime. Just like you can't have a full day without both, life includes both living and dying. A tree grows, blooms, and eventually its leaves fall and it dies, but this is all part of its life cycle. Similarly, understanding that death is a natural and inevitable part of life helps us appreciate the time we have and live more fully. This idea encourages us to cherish our moments, knowing they are precious and finite.
