Drop your digital gadget and grab onto the balloons with

both hands so you’ll have enough strength to hold on as they

carry you to far and wide places of tremendous beauty and

wonder. you’ll have enough strength to hold on as they carry

you to far and wide places of tremendous beauty and

wonder.

Hold onto your gadget for dear life more than the balloons

that keep you afloat. Let the weight of it (depicted in this

image as very heavy) cause your hand to start slipping from

5

the ribbons while growing weaker by the second. Without

the support of the other hand holding the gadget, there is no

chance you will hang on long enough to get to the destination

of your dreams. The videos, images, and selfies you managed

to take along the way, the continuous updates of this magical

journey, on a minute by minute basis — you’re more    

preoccupied with those things than seeing and enjoying the

spectacular sights around you in all their real life glory with

your own two eyes instead of through a screen. If we don’t let

go of our precious technology, of the belief that we can’t exist

or have no purpose without it, our soul will never reach the

elevation it craves, the freedom from eternal return —   

unbearable lightness of being.

But that’s not good enough for you to give it up, no way! Fuck

these evil balloons for just snatching you up and taking you

away from your cozy little comfy zone… your beloved little

world of chasing sweet little pleasures that act as fireflies, or

sometimes, like scattered marbles over a frozen lake. And so

down you fall… down…down… into a cold, wet abyss. Ah, the

ocean. Home sweet home. Some sharks picked up your scent

and are swimming around you now. Yay for the perfect

lastie! That’s not exactly what this work is about, just my

own interpretation of it today…
