I can feel the limits of what humans are capable of -- that a certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect...I find that encouraging.
In Haruki Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore," the author touches on the inherent limitations of human capabilities. He expresses the idea that true perfection is not easily attainable, but rather it emerges from the continual collection of flawed experiences and imperfections. This perspective suggests that while individuals may fall short of ideal outcomes, these imperfections are essential to the journey toward a greater understanding of perfection.
Murakami finds solace in this notion, viewing it as encouraging. The acknowledgment that imperfection is a fundamental part of life implies that growth and development arise from our struggles and failures. Instead of being disheartened by limitations, we can embrace the imperfections along the way, recognizing that they contribute significantly to the richness of human experience and the pursuit of our dreams.
