The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of this earth and earthly being, and become only half real, his movements free as they are insignificant. What than shall we choose? Weight or lightness?
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
