Quote by Haruki Murakami

People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simple, but it never is. It's just like a rock. What's above ground is only a small part of it. But if you start pulling, it keeps coming and coming. The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then.

People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simpl

Summary

This quote suggests that there are complex and deeply rooted reasons behind a person's decision to take their own life. It likens these reasons to a rock, where what is visible on the surface is only a fraction of the whole. Pulling the layers back, one discovers a vast and intricate darkness within the human mind. The quote emphasizes that understanding the true reason behind such a decision may be elusive, with only the individual themselves possibly possessing that knowledge, and even then, it may remain unknown.
