"終わりが近づいているが、黙示録は長寿だ。"

Simplified Meaning:

The saying means that even when we feel like something big and bad is about to finish, the tough times tied to it may last much longer. Imagine you're in a bad storm. The main storm might move on, but the rain and bad weather can linger, causing more trouble. Let's take the example of a war. When the fighting stops, you might think the hard part is over. However, the damage to homes, the sadness of losing loved ones, and the job of rebuilding lives take much more time and effort. Similarly, if you're going through personal struggles like losing a job or going through a breakup, the moment of loss might be quick, but the healing process can be lengthy. So, even if a difficult situation seems to be ending, the consequences and challenges might still be around for a while. Understanding this can help us prepare better and be patient, knowing that recovery and resolution take time.
