Reflections: The Unbearable Lightness of being

on November 2, 2005

guess what i did on the FIRST day of my study week? heez.. i dedicated one day to read a book which i always wanna read….

    The Unbearable Lightness of being by Milan Kundera

well… i finished reading 300+ pages of the book in 1 day… heeez… this goes to show how interesting this book is… yes..it’s a thinking book…. very philosophical.. it gives me new perspectives on life… love and sex…. yes… SEX…. in fact, the 1st half of the book talks abt sleeping together vs making love…. the lightness of being single vs the burden (or heaviness) of being with someone…. infidelity of man…. oh well… was quite disturbed with the ‘love-mking’ part…. hmm… i shall not dwell upon it….

i think the good part of the book is.. how it answers some of my questions on life…. like… i do think ALOT and i always wonder what i utimately want in my life ….then this quotes explains my uncertainty…

” we can never know what we want, coz, living only 1 life, we can either compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come”

remember how i blogged about loving some1 with the head instead of the heart, there’s a quote from the book which contradicts my theorem completely

“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object”

being a typical philosophical book… every event in the book is quite symbolic…i havent really analysed the events yet…. heeez… so whatever here is solely my opinion…

go read the book.. then we can discuss… :wink1

tml is studying day… sianz…
