| Description |
"Finally things had lost their weightiness" byErik Pevernagie , oil on canvas, 100 x 80 cm x
They symbolize the ephemerality and the profound impact of these seemingly insignificant aspects of our lives. Sometimes, we must let loose in life rather than indulging intractably in self-harm or self-mistreatment as we pursue impervious dreams. Weightiness can be the incarnation of a sense of responsibility. Responsibility is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It can be very versatile, and we can interpret it in many different ways. Everybody has a different reading of accountability. When the flood is submerging the entire country, no raindrop may feel responsible. However, the real responsible will do whatever it takes to hold each droplet accountable when the stormwater inundates the fences of our lives. Weightiness can be a demonstration of wisdom. It can be the outcome of insightful reflection and the emanation of a quest for a sense of life. Gravity may mean coercion when we experience it as trouble or a terrible nuisance. Let us loosen the balloons, then. To safeguard our mindset's lightness, we must ensure that some don't hinder us from breaking free from contrived mental bondage. Nebulous words covering a broad spectrum of intriguing maneuverings allow lobbyists to impersonate innocuous "strategic analysts" and masquerade as benefactors of the people. Therefore, foresight and clarity must always be our brothers-at-arms. Some use "ambiguity" as their deviant native language and prefer to hide behind a veil of para-social intrigue and deceit. They readily apply a strategy of a condescendingly friendly approach. In philosophical reflections, ambiguity is a tool for obfuscation, making it difficult to discern the true nature of specific situations or concepts. Still, as we can capture arresting signals that urge us to defuse a dire threat of besiegement, we can decipher any shrouded or manipulative intentions and steer clear of unforeseen pitfalls. We cannot always be suspicious and must be ready to let go of knotty and prickly issues in time. Letting go of weighty issues can be a relief or a form of liberation. We must be ready to get the monkey off our back soon enough and let things loose when things get stuffy. Lightness and gravity are essential options and remain part of our philosophy of life.
Factual starting point : balloons being released
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. Là, le moment est venu de lâcher les ballons, de ressentir l'air pure d'un vent nouveau et de se délivrer du sentiment de suppression de dépendance matérielle.
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. Het is het ogenblik om de ballonnen van hun zwaarte te bevrijden. Een nieuwe wind komt dan aangewaaid en het drukkende gevoel van materiële afhankelijkheid lost zich op. |
