Lightness And Heaviness The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But... The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?' (From "The unbearable lightness of being")
