If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark
In Haruki Murakami's novel "Norwegian Wood," the theme of darkness serves as a metaphor for emotional struggles and the process of adapting to difficult situations. The quote suggests that in moments of uncertainty or despair, one must remain patient and allow time for adjustment. Just as our vision adapts to darkness, so too can we learn to cope with our internal challenges.
The idea emphasizes the necessity of resilience and the importance of waiting for clarity to emerge from confusion. The journey through emotional discomfort can lead to personal growth as we slowly regain our bearings and find our way forward, even when things seem bleak.
