“Even if we could turn back, we'd probably never end up where we started.”
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are walking on a long, winding path through a forest. You've been walking for hours, and even if you decide to go back, you might find a different trail, meet new people, or notice things you missed before. Life is very much like this. When people think about going back to an earlier time, they often believe they can return to the way things were. However, experiences change us, and the world around us changes too. Just like how the forest path may look different on your return, our past won't be the same if we revisit it. The past is not just about the place or time; it’s also about how we have changed since then. This means that while we can think about our past and learn from it, we should focus on moving forward and making the best of what’s to come.
