There are certain thoughts that, no matter what, you have to keep inside.
In Haruki Murakami's novel "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage," the protagonist grapples with the complexity of human emotions and memories. The narrative explores the idea that some thoughts and feelings are too profound or painful to share, leading to a sense of isolation. Tsukuru's journey is both a physical and emotional pilgrimage as he seeks to understand his past and the relationships that have shaped him.
Murakami emphasizes the struggle between the desire to connect with others and the necessity of keeping certain thoughts private. The quote highlights the tension of harboring internal reflections, suggesting that some experiences are inherently personal, filled with emotions that words may fail to convey. Tsukuru's self-discovery ultimately reveals the importance of confronting these inner conflicts, even if they remain unspoken.
