“When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our
lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has
become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go
down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. And Sabina - what had
come over her? Nothing. She had left a man because she felt like leaving
him. Had he persecuted her? Had he tried to take revenge on her? No.
Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to
her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.”
- Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
