"嵐が過ぎ去ったら、どうやって乗り越えたのか、どうやって生き延びたのかさえ思い出せなくなるでしょう。嵐が本当に終わったのかどうかも確信できないかもしれません。しかし、一つだけ確かなことがあります。嵐を抜け出したとき、あなたは入ったときと同じ人ではなくなっている。それが嵐の意味するところです。"
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
When you go through a tough time, like facing a big problem or challenge, it can be really hard to remember all the details of how you dealt with it. You might not even be sure if the hard time is truly finished. But one thing is clear: going through difficult experiences changes you. For instance, imagine a person who loses their job and has to find a new one. They might feel stressed and unsure while job hunting. Once they get a new job, they'll realize that they've grown stronger and learned new things about themselves during that tough time. The main idea is that hard times shape you and make you different, usually stronger and wiser, than you were before.
