The quote from Haruki Murakami's "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" suggests that evolution is an inherently challenging process. It implies that growth and change often come with difficulty and struggle, reflecting a more realistic view on the nature of life's transitions rather than a romanticized version. This perspective indicates that evolving often means confronting harsh realities and enduring uncomfortable experiences.
