People were infected with the concept that happiness was something outside themselves, and a new and powerful form of loneliness was born. Mix loneliness with stress and enervation, and all sorts of madness can occur. Anxiety increases, and in order to obliterate the anxiety, people turn to extreme sex, violence, and even murder.

In Japan, even when you're alone, you're never really that lonely. But the loneliness you feel among people with differently colored skin and eyes, whose language you don't even speak very well – that sort of loneliness is something you feel down to the marrow of your bones.

Ryū Murakami
