I recently started Osamu Dazai’s book No Longer Human, and this quote is from that book. " Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes. "

This quote is so hauntingly beautiful, it captures a sense of resignation that feels both heavy and strangely freeing. Do you think Dazai sees 'Everything passes' as a comfort, a tragedy, or something more complicated? I’m curious how this idea unfolds in the rest of the book for the protagonist.

Many of the events in the book reflect Dazai's real life. Osamu Dazai committed suicide a few months after the book was published. As such, the work has a prophetic and very bittersweet feel.🫠
