The message I learned- A Wind-up Bird realization

I just suddenly thought about this while taking a dump and reading Norwegian Wood.
It's not actually something important, I just want to write it down before I forget it.

It might be just a simple thought, this is the message that I realized Haruki Murakami was trying to tell his readers about the Wind-up Bird Chronicle.

Everything remained the same. For whatever change the people expected after the war, after the conflict, everything remains the same regardless of whoever, wherever and whenever. Maybe the degree of severity is either decreased or increased, it's still there.
The killing, the hiding, the leaving, the betraying, the murdering and the wanting... it doesn't matter if we're at war or not...the problem is not about the contrasting ideas, the problem is with the people.

Thank you, Haruki Murakami.

That is what I understood about his novel. I do ask for the readers' forgiveness if my understanding is shallow and, rather, vague.
