Haruki Murakami: I want to see people when I see the sea for a long time, and I want to see the sea when I see more people.
After living in a reinforced concrete city for a long time, you will feel that life is like an assembly line machine, which is constantly rotating repetitive machinery and numbness.
After living like this for a long time, you will forget that the things that really make you happy are actually only the tiny two or three things.
The joys and sorrows in everyone's hearts seem to be one secret after another, but there is nowhere to tell them.
On a hot summer childhood afternoon, the sound of cicadas chirping outside the classroom window.
When it rains, squeeze under an umbrella with friends and play with the water with a smile.
The girl, dressed in a long blue floral dress and holding a frozen lemonade in her hand, went home from the bookstore.
After school, sit on the empty last bus, watching the sunset outside the window while blowing the lazy evening breeze.
A man travels alone, on a green-skinned train with only one ticket in his hand, and carries himself to the ends of the earth.
……
These things are far away from me, but they are always reminded in my memory. Never start again, never forget.
A date and a few paragraphs of text, like a can sealed in time. Wait for a certain month of a certain year to remember, and then open them one by one.
Born in a hot southern city with a long, narrow summer, unfortunately there is no sea here.
I always thought about how lucky and happy it would be to have a childhood that grew up by the sea. During the summer vacation, you can run to the beach alone every day to collect shells, watch the sunset, listen to the tides, and smell the sea breeze. I also want to see the indifferent sea in the winter of December, the rough and lonely tides in the night.
Once people grow up, they are getting farther and farther away from their childhood, from their own happiness, and from their hearts.
The life you want is actually very simple, but reality does not allow people to live a light life.
As soon as you open the network, the recommendations are all messy things, most of which are just things that are draining the inner energy. It's like playing video games or watching boring variety shows when I was a child, and when I finished watching, I suddenly felt empty in my heart.
Everyone has stages of confusion, confusion about right and wrong, and even not knowing which things are draining inner energy and which things are increasing inner strength.
Take what is wrong as right, and mistake what is right as wrong.
Until one day I found out that I had not felt real simple happiness for a long time. The things that make you happy must be the things that bring yourself peace. Like just looking at the sea.
In the poem of Shuji Terayama, when the heart is sad, go to see the sea. Sleep alone at night and look at the sea.
It's been a long, long time since I've been out of the city, and I just want to see the sea in the distance.
There is the best cure in nature.
