“The heaviest burden crushes us, makes us groan beneath it, and glues us to the ground… Therefore, the heaviest burden is simultaneously an image of the greatest vital achievement. The heavier the burden, the closer, more real, and more truthful our lives become. Conversely, the complete absence of burden makes the human being lighter than air. It makes him fly, makes him move away from the earth, from earthly beings, makes him only half-real, and makes his movements as free as they are devoid of any meaning. So, what does he choose, heaviness or lightness?!” When a person distances himself from himself, life becomes pure philosophy, and visuals become images worthy of being positioned as meditations, sometimes, and as life narratives at other times, to understand the unbearable lightness of that being.
