“It's not as if our lives are divided simply into light and dark. There's shadowy middle-ground.”

Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:

Life isn't just about good and bad, or happy and sad moments. There's a lot of in-between, where things aren't so clear-cut. For example, think about a day at work. It might not be amazing, but it's not terrible either. Maybe you had a boring meeting, but then a nice chat with a colleague. This middle ground is where most of our daily experiences lie. It's like a gray area where things are mixed. Seeing life this way helps us understand that not everything is black and white. We can find value and lessons even in the ordinary or mixed moments. So, when faced with a situation that isn't perfect or awful, try to look for the small positives and learn from the experience.
