A Lack of Weight

It has recently become incredibly apparent to me that most of the people surrounding me attempt to escape from anything deep, meaningful, or passionate. They want to keep it light, to obsess about things that don't matter. They escape the heavy burden of thought and live weightless, meaningless lives. In the Unbearable Lightness of Being, Kundera asserts that "The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to earth, the more real and truthful they become." My design in creating this blog is to face the beautifully weighted gift of intelligent thought, to feel the passionate fire which cannot be felt without pain but without which life has no meaning, to bring companionship to the passionate minds lost in an insipid world. Let us bond together in this plight.
