"the heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. but in the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body. the heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. the heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. what then shall we choose? weight or lightness?"there really is not much to say. i am about to graduate from college and have absolutely no concrete plans for my future. all i really want to do is hang out, run around, travel, read, take pictures, and write. i want to eat and talk and be surrounded by great people. and then there's the other stuff i want to do; like something great, help others, make a difference, be a productive citizen of the world, and leave my mark on this place. so, what will it be? weight or lightness?
