— Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:
People often put on a happy face to hide their true feelings when they are sad or stressed. This quote expresses a wish for a world where people don't have to pretend. Imagine you're having a bad day, but you smile anyway so others don't worry. In a world like the one described, you wouldn't need to hide how you feel; everyone would understand and support each other. For instance, at work or school, instead of saying "I'm fine" when you're not, you could honestly say you're overwhelmed, and people would respond with kindness and help. By creating an environment where people feel safe to share their true emotions, relationships become more genuine and supportive, leading to a healthier and more connected community.
