You end up exhausted and spent, but later, in retrospect, you realize what it all was for. The parts fall into place, and you can see the whole picture and finally understand the role each individual part plays. The dawn comes, the sky grows light, and the colors and shapes of the roofs of houses, which you could only glimpse vaguely before, come into focus.
In Haruki Murakami's "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running," the author reflects on the journey of running and life. He describes the exhausting struggle that often leaves one feeling depleted but emphasizes that this effort leads to greater understanding over time. With perspective gained through experience, the fragmented pieces of life begin to make sense, revealing the purpose behind the struggles.
As dawn breaks, clarity arrives, allowing the previously obscured details of life to emerge. The vibrant colors and shapes that once appeared hazy now take form, illustrating how the challenges faced can illuminate our path. This transformation highlights the importance of perseverance, ultimately helping one to appreciate the journey and its lessons.
