    I recommend asking the Lord to take a look at the third chapter of "Heavy Flesh" written by Liu Xiaofeng, there is a comment on this **. I read this book a long time ago, and I remember that I liked Milan Kundera's sensational writings at the time, and then I read some of his other books. I think (and only my opinion, because many people have different interpretations of this book) that Milan Kundera's unbearable lightness is mainly an expression of the difficulty of making choices in today's abandonment of traditional values.

    Milan Kundera's own position (the art of **, the betrayed testament) seems to advocate a kind of moral ambiguity, acknowledging that every way of life has its own value. In fact, this is also the overall trend of thought in the world after 1900, because too many things happened at the beginning of the last century, World War II, Nietzsche, metaphysical disintegration, Foucault, so I personally think that there is an obvious break between the modern ** and the classical **. Of course, to get back to the point, my opinion on this ** is still the same as Liu Xiaofeng, and I agree with his sentence "People who start to drift sexually will feel that their lives have become lighter".

    To use an analogy, why do we value the affection of parents for their children, because a person has only one parent, once is eternal (German einmal ist ewig). If a person can have more than one parent, then it will feel that it is not the grand purpose of whether it is good or not, then the whole person will feel that something is frivolous, and it will feel as if this life is illusory. Milan Kundera's book uses Theresa as a starting point to express the same meaning:

    A person can be passionate about drifting with sex and not choosing a particular girlfriend, but once the relationship becomes the norm and becomes routine, then he feels as if it doesn't matter because it's not the only one. So the role of Theresa is that he is the only one, and the only thing has this characteristic: unique, timeless, heavy.

    Theresa is like everyone has only one parent, and she has only one. The same is true of morality, so why should we abide by morality? In fact, we can not obey and let our own temperament do our own - such people will eventually feel that they are frivolous, to paraphrase Hegel, this is negative freedom.

    Only when we assume morality can we feel that life is worthwhile. Because morality is made by everyone, although I find it tiring to follow the order, I see my own choices in what exists, and I also see your compromise, thoughtfulness, and even love for me. Of course, having said so much digression, Milan Kundera's book mainly presents us with two ways of survival, light and heavy, although its title says that life cannot bear lightness, but the subject can think for himself and see the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, which is the value of this book - my personal opinion.
