"事実はフィクションよりも奇妙である、しかしそれはフィクションが可能性に固執しなければならないからである事実はそうではない。"

Truth often surprises us more than fiction because fiction has to follow certain rules and be plausible, while reality doesn't have to adhere to such constraints. Real life can take wild turns and present bizarre scenarios that no writer could make up without losing their audience’s belief.

Take the story of Elisa Lam, for example. In 2013, this young woman mysteriously disappeared from the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Weeks later, hotel guests complained about the water taste and color, leading to the discovery of Elisa’s body in the water tank on the roof. Security footage showed her behaving strangely in an elevator before she vanished. The bizarre circumstances surrounding her death defied logical explanations and left people puzzled. A novelist would struggle to get readers to believe such a strange and tragic sequence of events.

So how can you apply this wisdom in your own life? Be open to the unexpected. Sometimes the most improbable things turn out to be true. Don't dismiss something just because it sounds too wild. Keep your mind open and be ready to adapt to surprise twists and turns. Embrace the unpredictable—after all, the most incredible stories often come from real life.

Imagine you're planning a huge outdoor wedding. You've checked the weather forecast—it’s clear skies all week. But on the big day, out of nowhere, a freak storm hits. You could never have predicted it. Instead of letting it ruin the day, everyone decides to embrace the chaos. Guests dance in the rain, the bride and groom splash through puddles, and the photos turn out to be amazing, capturing the joy and spontaneity of the moment. This wasn’t what anyone had in mind, but it became a unique and unforgettable experience—one that fiction would struggle to capture without seeming contrived.

Remember, life doesn’t always stick to a script. Sometimes, the most fantastical things are the things that really happen. If you remain flexible, you’ll be better equipped to handle whatever life throws your way. Next time something unbelievable happens, instead of thinking, “This can’t be real,” think, “Wow, truth really is stranger than fiction.” It’s these unexpected twists that make life so incredibly rich and interesting.

By embracing the unpredictable nature of reality, you can learn to navigate the surprises and absurdities of life with a sense of curiosity and wonder instead of frustration or disbelief. Keep that in mind next time you're confronted with a situation that seems too bizarre to be true.
