More From Haruki Murakami

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.
Pain Real Heart
There sure are a lot of these 'instant' products on the market. instant coffee, instant tea, instant pudding, instant cereal... instant dislike.

The human race will disappear. other races will appear and disappear in turn. the sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. which will also disappear. everything will disappear. and what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. good, evil, morality, feelings? pure 'victorian fictions'. only egotism exists.

Real danger is nothing more than just living. of course, living is merely the chaos of existence, but more than that it's a crazy mixed-up business of dismantling existence instant by instant to the point where the original chaos is restored, and taking strength from the uncertainty and the fear that chaos brings to re-create existence instant by instant. you won't find another job as dangerous as that. there isn't any fear in existence itself, or any uncertainty, but living creates it.

There is, then, no danger in the circumstances that anti-semitism will disappear, for it is the jews themselves who add fuel to its flames and see that it is kept well stoked. before the opposition to it can disappear, the malady itself must disappear. and from that point of view, you can rely on the jews: as long as they survive, anti-semitism will never fade. (13th february 1945)

The challenge is to lend conviction even to the voices which advocate views i find personally abhorrent, whether they are political islamists or officers justifying a coup.

The well adjusted make poor prophets. a pleasant existence blinds us to the possibilities of drastic change. we cling to what we call our common sense, our practical point of view. actually, these are names for an all-absorbing familiarity with things as they are. . . . thus it happens that when the times become unhinged, it is the practical people who are caught unaware . . . still clinging to things that no longer exist.
