"逃れようとして自分に出くわす"
— James Joyce

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes when people try to get away from their problems or their feelings, they discover that they can't escape from who they are. Imagine someone who moves to a new city because they're unhappy with their life. They think everything will be different and better, but soon they realize they still feel the same. This happens because the real issues were inside them, not just around them. Instead of running away, they need to face their problems head-on. By doing inner work, like reflecting on their emotions, they can start to feel better without needing to escape.
