You can see the flaws in that approach quite easily. That’s why he chooses to forsake reality and has the need to create a new one. He has focused all his thoughts and emotions on the darkness around him and almost forgot that the light also exists.Įven though he mentions the dual nature of our existence, it’s as if Madara doesn’t believe that the bright side of the coin truly exists. Madara is longing for a world of peace, where the dark side of the coin (hatred, war) is eradicated.Īlthough there is some truth to his words, even when translated into our reality, Madara’s view of the world is probably too dark and edgy. He shows his ambitious (and mostly unrealistic) goal of splitting the dualities we discussed above. However, knowledge without action doesn’t mean much, which is why Madara takes action. Looking from this perspective, it’s easy to understand the significant mistakes people have been making throughout the centuries. He explains how we have created wars to preserve peace and how we learn to hate one another in order to preserve what we love. This is one of the most powerful Madara quotes in the entire show. According to Madara, we would be ignorant of the world around us if we didn’t acknowledge and understand all sides of life.

Here, he highlights the ever-present existence of duality among all things. …wherever there is light, there will always be shadows… His mission starts from the perception of a world that needs change. However, we have to understand that these feelings have fueled his entire existence. Madara shows his disappointment and probably an overly dark view of the world he is trying to change. This sentence shows how gloomy the vibe of the entire speech truly is. …the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering, and futility. His speech is an invitation to open our eyes.
Madara is saying that we have fallen asleep, blind to the heavy truth that burdens our world. He calls us to wake up to reality in the first sentence, which made the speech as famous as it is. The weight and intent behind what Madara has to say walk a fine line between crushing realism and bleak pessimism. We are drawing a parallel between our reality and the one in the Naruto world because this particular speech seems to have a more general message, easily applied to us as well. It’s rather a different view of the world we live in, and Madara’s way of expressing his truth about it. However, it’s not so much destructive, evil darkness that consumes the speech. When you first hear the words, you can immediately feel the darkness behind them. The Meaning of the Speech (Important Lines Explained)
