Description |
"The unbearable heaviness of being" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, xx
While we teeter on the tightrope between the present and the future, confronting the limits of our imagination, life may one day help us unsuspectedly unlock the secret door between urgent and substantial flows. If we have the knack of recognizing the discrepancy between pressure and loosening up, between hurry-scurry and meditation, we can create our own lane and avoid the pitfalls crowding our days. Heaviness can embody a sense of responsibility, the expression of maturity, the result of profound meditation, or the emanation of a search for meaning in life. When we experience it as a burden, weightiness may lead to oppression: an unbearable burden. If so, the time has come to release and offload a stale environment. We let loose and liberate ourselves. Physical or mental dependence can be alleviated and evaporated. Eventually, things lose their gravity, their weightiness. The day we finally hold ourselves accountable, rather than blaming others, and come clean about our responsibilities, we unfetter ourselves from ravaging frustrations and fretting crankiness. If the whole world is in a rush and people are out of step with themselves, they fail to catch the quirky aura and the exceptional quality of life that feeds our soul-searching frame of mind and builds a coveted haven, giving recognition and self-reliance.

Français : Légèreté et pesanteur sont liés à une philosophie de vie. Ce sont des choix de vie. Ce tableau traduit la contradiction philosophique de légèreté et lourdeur. Pesanteur peut être un signe du sens de responsabilité. Elle peut être l'expression de maturité. Elle peut être le résultat d'une profonde méditation. Elle peut être l'émission d'une quête de sens dans la vie. Mais pesanteur peut également conduire à un sentiment d'oppression lorsqu'elle est ressentie comme un fardeau: un fardeau insupportable. Alors le temps est venu de se libérer et de se défaire d'un environnement étouffant.
Nederlands: Lichtheid en zwaarte zijn gerelateerd aan een levensfilosofie. Dit zijn keuzes in de levensstijl. Het schilderij vertaalt de filosofische tegenstelling tussen lichtheid en zwaarte. "Gewicht en gewichtig" kunnen kunnen staan voor gevoel voor verantwoordelijkheid. Ze kunnen worden verklaard als zijnde een uiting van volwassenheid. Ze kunnen mogelijk het gevolg zijn van diepe meditatie of ze kunnen de expressie zijn van een zoektocht naar betekenis van het leven. Maar zwaarte kan ook leiden tot een gevoel van verdrukking of onderdrukking wanneer het wordt ervaren als een last: een ondraaglijke last. Dan is de tijd gekomen om "los te laten" en zich te ontdoen van een benauwde, bedompte atmosfeer. |
