It is a life well laid for someone who are in the path to the truthfulness of his existence. Is it a genuine thought of true understanding, is still to be seen. I come to this world and venture into the unknown, and I sense the lighter side of me and it becomes lighter by the day. Being conscious of oneself is good but it can be regarded as a stunted growth on your part if you are not conscious of the growth of others as well. A comparison in the `light and heavy' of oneself and others is a good start in the understanding other than yourself. Am I on the side of `light weight' or `heavy weight'? Well, each and everyone of us are not blessed with `light-weight' all over and on everything. I have seen a person, a `light-weight' in one thing but a very `heavy-weight' in the personal interaction with others, smile not, greet not even if he happens to sit beside you. I do not really give a damn about the `heavy-weight' aspect of others before. But after several not so sweet experiences I have encounter lately, I have to review my actions and decisions accordingly. Everybody wants a peace of mind in his daily interactions with others. But that interactions should be embodied by a set of principles. In conclusion it boils down to the depth understanding of true freedom and truly educational and truly moving on towards the achievement of a `light-weight' world of oneself and others, mentally and physically.

Salam,
Baca komen sdr. di blog Encik Kassim Ahmad. Sepintas lalu baca entry "Moving On..." saya jadi ingat ke bukunya Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
"einmal ist keinmal"
...
The book centers around the theory that existence is full of unbearable lightness, because each of us has only one life to live: Einmal ist keinmal (once is nonce: "what happened once might never have 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 bind, yet simultaneously, the insignificance of our decisions — our lives, our being — is unbearably light, hence, the unbearable lightness of being. Because of the subject, some critics labeled this novel modernist, while others see it as a celebratory post-modern explosion of narrative craft. (wikipedia)
