If every second of our lives recurs an infinite number of times, we are nailed to eternity as Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. It is a terrifying prospect. In the world of eternal return the weight of unbearable responsibility lies heavy on every move we make. ~ Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
History can be cruel. I’m pretty sure this is a generalism with which Kundera would agree; maybe the statement could be refined to read “those people so concerned with making history can be cruel”, or something like that. In any case: people who take themselves very seriously. And who takes themselves more seriously – who is more concerned with making history – than fashion designers? Among them the designers of furniture. In which case Milan Kundera is a victim of fashion, as is so ably demonstrated in this video. Une plaisanterie, indeed.
That’s bizarrely funny.
