A face is like reading a palm. More than the features you're born with, a face is gradually formed over the passage of time, through all the experiences a person goes through, and no two faces are alike.
The quote from Haruki Murakami's "Killing Commendatore" highlights the idea that a person's face is not just a product of their genetic features but is shaped by their life experiences over time. Each face tells a unique story, reflecting the challenges, joys, and growth that an individual has encountered throughout their life journey.
This perspective emphasizes the individuality of every person, suggesting that our appearances convey deeper personal narratives. Just as palm readings reveal the intricacies of a life lived, so too does each face serve as a canvas illustrating the distinct path of its owner, making every face inherently unique.
