A certain important thing



我寫得一手差勁的中文字。最近開始練字,希望有日自己都能寫到好字,但說不定到時就會很懷念這手充滿稚氣的字跡。
I have a terrible Chinese handwriting. Recently I started practicing it and wish I could also write some beautiful words someday. But at that moment, I will probably miss this childish handwriting.

Below is my rough translation of this passage from Haruki Murakami (Sorry for my English. I couldn't find it anywhere else.)
All the people spend their whole lives searching for a certain important thing but there are not many who could find it. However if it is luckily found, the thing itself will be fatally wounded. Nonetheless, we still have to keep searching for it because if we don't do so, being alive will become meaningless.
