There are moments when I think it will never end, that it will last indefinitely. It's like the rain. Here the rain, like everything else, suggests permanence and eternity. I say to myself: it's raining today and it's going to rain tomorrow and the next day, the next week and the next century.
The quote reflects a sense of despair and the feeling that one's struggles may be unending. The comparison to rain signifies a persistent, inescapable existence where difficulties seem to stretch indefinitely into the future. Wiesel captures the notion that, in dark times, it’s hard to envision a break from the cycle of sorrow and hardship.
Wiesel also connects the rain with themes of permanence and eternity, suggesting that just as rain falls constantly, so too can one feel trapped in an ongoing state of distress. This evokes a profound sense of hopelessness, yet it subtly urges readers to recognize that change, like weather, is also a natural part of life.
