I have been to Florence; and saw great cathedrals.

I am impressed by how beautiful they are.

It makes me want to do something big myself.

But I’m also reading Kundera.

Missions are stupid, Tereza. I have no mission. No one has. And it’s a terrific relief to realize you’re free, free of all missions

— Tomas

Yes, that’s true. In the end, we’re just blobs of flesh. Missions are bullshit.

Hard to accept: even the ones that come from the inside

And also, there is this line:

And therein lies the whole of man’s plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.

It was about a comparaison of how their dog experienced time, versus how we do.

We experience time like a straight line in the future, towards the unknown.

Dogs experience time as a predictable cycle, that repeats itself every day.

So in the end:

  • do something that you like and allows you to live
  • try to make the circle a bit better every day
  • long for repetition

I’ve actually been longing for repetition for a bit now.

I just like to eat the same food, watch the same series, etc…

I don’t want to travel and see the entire world.

I don’t want to change the world, become famous and rich.

I want to be happy, today, and tomorrow.

KISS (keep it simple, stupid)
