Some things in life are just to complicated to explain in any language.'Olga was absolutely right, Tsukuru thought as he sipped his wine. Not just to explain to others, but to explain to yourself. Force yourself to try to explain it, and you create lies.
In Haruki Murakami's "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage," the protagonist, Tsukuru, reflects on the complexity of certain experiences and emotions that resist articulation. He acknowledges that some feelings are so intricate that explaining them, even to oneself, often leads to untruths. This suggests an inherent struggle with self-understanding and the limitations of language.
Tsukuru realizes that the attempt to articulate deep emotional truths can result in misleading narratives. He considers Olga's statement about life's complexities, recognizing that not every experience can be neatly conveyed through words. This highlights the depth of human experience and the challenges of genuine self-expression.
