Murakami is one of the few writers to benefit from the general public’s reception and at the same time has the approval of most literary critics. For example, if we look at the list of the latest Nobel prizes in literature, we will find many authors unknown to many regular readers, not to mention how anonymous they may become for those who do not like the pleasure of reading. Unfortunately, Murakami never received this award, but at least it has been considered in recent years.
He may also be one of those authors who choose titles that few publishers would choose and who speak of the author’s weight in deciding the details of his books; In addition, he is perhaps the most capable author of representing a character regardless of stage. of the life he’s going through.

Anyone who spends the day exercising their will has chosen a bad plan of life, Murakami approaches this issue in an extraordinary way when referring to exercise, in this sense many people who play sport every day are recognized by many others for having an enormous will. It may be true that within this group there are people like this, but for most people who have been doing physical activity for years, they don’t do it with their will.
They do this because they find it easier, more fun and motivating than other alternatives, prefer an hour of exercise to an hour of meeting or English classes, preferping it to many other activities, otherwise, except for health reasons, it would be torture that few wills can bear.
In this sense, there are many mythical activities; for example, I remember the case of a child who was very pleased to stay home on a Saturday night to read quietly and, on the contrary, faced a test of willpower when he had to spend time in a nightclub.
It seems that healthy, recommended and positive things must also be unpleasant, ungrateful and demotivating, on the contrary, the opposite seems to be temptation, desire, whimsy, but often it is not so and this is where the confusion of So we can spend time swimming against the current, but a lifetime doing this does not make sense.
The world is divided into two types of people: those who eat by the elbows?And they don’t gain weight, and those that have a particular ability to incorporate calories that approach their bodies, it’s normal for the first group to be the envy of the second. In fact, we have never heard any comments in the other direction. What jealousy, you can eat everything and not get fat!
However, this type of genetic injustice has its equivalent, people with a greater tendency to fatten tend to take more care of their diet, follow a more varied diet and not torture their metabolism with exaggerated meals when their pace is very low. It is not uncommon for a person who exceeds the recommended weight for their height to undergo a much more balanced and healthy blood test than that of a very thin person.
Thus, people who are more sensitive to weight fluctuations have an “alarm signal”, which is easier to activate in the face of many health problems, so it is an advantage that many of us do not know. In addition, this is just one example of some situations that we consider negative ignoring the benefits they also present.
The rampant globalization we have witnessed in recent years is the fusion of cultures, but to a large extent it also has the effect of homogenizing them; on the other hand, we are in a competitive world where creativity is so scarce that its price is huge. So, in a way, we all want to have our own voice, a style of our own, while we want the groups we identify to welcome us. It’s the paradox of wanting to look like others.
Well, whatever the kind of motivation for it, the truth is, there aren’t people like that. The exact price of these differences is in discussions, misunderstandings and disagreements. Yes, we love so little.
No one deserves to carry that weight or have that privilege in their hands. No one or anything, once we reach adulthood. Be a person you love or a job you love. It’s not just because your freedom is a privilege you have to belong to. to you intrinsically (within the limits of the law, of course), but because if you give your freedom to someone or something, at the same time you condemn them.
Maybe at first you can take it, but sooner or later you’ll end up regreting it, this will probably lead to the end or deterioration of your relationship with your loved one, or it will make you stop feeling all that passion for the profession you love so much. preceded you.
“We didn’t know who she was. He was just a being. And he had a special ability to separate the body from the heart. “I offer you one of the two, ” he told Tsukuru. Either my body or my heart, I can’t give both. So you have to choose one right away, because the other will be given to someone else?However, Tsukuru wanted it completely. I couldn’t accept him handing the other half over to someone else. Man, did you find the idea unbearable?
“And I meant that if I did, I wouldn’t want anything from her, but I couldn’t say that. Couldn’t you move forward or backward?-H. Murakami. La’s pilgrimage” without horn
Nothing better than the author’s own words to make explicit his own reflection, is that love has a powerful chemical part, but nevertheless it has a powerful physical part, to renounce one dimension or another is to mortally hurt love condemning him to perpetual discontent that will not end soon. Perhaps conceptually we can separate the soul and body, but love needs both to form an orchestra to play in harmony.
Certainly, if you approach Murakami’s work, you can learn your own lessons. Your characters may not talk much, but their books are an open communication for reflection, personal enrichment and, above all, appreciation.
“One day, death will take us by the hand. But until the day she surprises us, we’ll get rid of her. That’s how I thought. It sounded like logical reasoning. Life is on this side, the death of the other. We’re here,” not here?-H. Murakami. Tokyo Blues-
