The Unbearable Lightness Of Being

another boring day gone.. i did nothing but finishing reading the book called The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, whose writer is MILAN KUNDERA from Czechia. I've read it around 1 year ago, if it not were one of my friend spoken of it, i almost forgot that i've read it before. Surprise but not shame of it, because for this book, it's very hard to understand without an accumulation of knowledge, from philosophy, politic to love. And apperently, i have no ability to understand the content even a little a year before. Even now, i dare not say that i got a definitely idea about what the author want to express. but undoubltly, all these stories, theory cited serve to a key point, which, in my mind, are also suffered from the Milan himself, of unliberty consequence brought from the invasion of Russia, that keeping the people within the bounds of one thought, same behavour from the activity of closing the entertainment place, prohibiting the right of talking that different from the center's rules and also incuding striking the intelligent people.

When I think about this novel, an article, written by Lu Xun, one of the most famous Chinese writer, always comes into my mind, whose content in general has some relation to it, maybe similar..and the reason for that maybe because these two countries suffered from a similar history background -- they both being impacted seriously by Russial. That artical discuss a strategy often applied in the war, that destroying all the resource of a district seized by the enermy troops to prolong the time period of the war for the purpose that waiting for the rescue army or force the enermy to leave. Oberviously, it's orientated by the defending strategy. Unforturnitely, the government misuse this way as a tool to limit the freedom of people. For example, forbidding girls joining the entainment activity, that is just the same way mentioned in Milan's book.

What a darkness history of human. Even though, some parts of the world still govern their people centralized, indifferencal, and try to build up a nation with same kind of people, or say, benifit first to the group. How stupid it is in nowadays world...
