Review of The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) by Amir N — 11 Jun 2007
"being" is full of "unbearable lightness" because each of us has only one life to live,once is nonce, what happened once might as well have never happened at all. Therefore, each life is ultimately insignificant; every decision ultimately does not matter.
Since decisions do not matter, they are "light": they do not tie us down. But at the same time, the insignificance of our decisions - our lives, or being - is unbearable. Hence, "the unbearable lightness of being.
".
