"Good things or bad things?"
"Good things and bad things. Bad things that seem good at first, and good things that seem bad at first."
"That sounds very general, don't you have any more concrete information?"
"Yes, I suppose what I am saying does sound unspecific. But after all Mr. Okada, when one in speaking of the essence of things, it often happens that one can only speak in generalities. Concrete things capture one's attention , but they are often little more than trivia. Side shows. The more one tries to see into the distance, the more generalized things become."
~ The Wind-up Bird Chronical (Huraki Murakami)
