鈥濱ch 眉berleg's mir. Du bist immer noch ein gro脽er Planer, nicht wahr?芦 Das 盲rgerte mich. Es 盲rgerte mich, wie wenn mir Freundinnen gelegentlich sagten, ich sei nicht spontan genug, funktioniere zu sehr 眉ber den Kopf statt 眉ber den Bauch. Sie merkte in meinem Schweigen meinen 脛rger und lachte. 禄脛rgere dich nicht, Jungchen, ich hab's nicht b枚se gemeint.芦

Entscheidung folgen kann, aber nicht folgen muss. Oft genug habe ich im Lauf meines Lebens getan, wof眉r ich mich nicht entschieden hatte, und nicht getan, wof眉r ich mich entschieden hatte. Es, was immer es sein mag, handelt; es f盲hrt zu der Frau, die ich nicht mehr sehen will, macht gegen眉ber dem Vorgesetzten die Bemerkung, mit der ich mich um Kopf und Kragen rede, raucht weiter, obwohl ich mich entschlossen habe, das Rauchen aufzugeben, und gibt das Rauchen auf, nachdem ich eingesehen habe, dass ich Raucher bin und bleiben werde. Ich meine nicht, dass Denken und Entscheiden keinen Einfluss auf das Handeln h盲tten. Aber das Handeln vollzieht nicht einfach, was davor gedacht und entschieden wurde. Es hat seine eigene Quelle und ist auf ebenso eigenst盲ndige Weise mein Handeln, wie mein Denken mein Denken ist und mein Entscheiden mein Entscheiden.

They had a good and loving marriage, the heat between them had remained, and still they had arrived at the decision together, with the desire for growth and new discoveries. At first Rafi was unsure if he would ever want another woman. He thought he might be like his father, for whom his mother had remained the main force in his life, and to whom his father had remained entirely dedicated. And then, while at a residency abroad, Rafi slept with a much younger dancer from Korea, with whom he thought he was in love, until he met another from Thailand who blew his mind. When he returned home, the Thai woman broke things off from Bangkok, and after some weeks of pain, there was a very young French woman, then two or three Israelis. Meanwhile, during that time, his wife went to the beach with their children, and while they played in the waves with the dog, she met and fell in love with a man fifteen years younger than her. Rafi and his wife had not made any rules before they started. To make rules about freedom had seemed antithetical; either that, or they had been too impatient to hold the dreary, diplomatic conference that would have been necessary to establish such rules. But very quickly it had become clear that the absence of rules led to enormous pain, and though love can be mutual and shared, pain only ever happens in a place of radical aloneness.

It wasn't that he didn't wish he could sleep next to someone, he told her now. He simply couldn't find any peace that way. He remained alert, on edge, and so it could take him hours to fall asleep, a problem that was exacerbated by the fact that he knew that if he didn't get enough sleep, he was likely to get a migraine. He had been getting migraines since he was thirteen. They arrived with an aura that blacked out parts of his vision, and when they came the only thing he could do was curl up in a fetal position until they passed.聽 Though it was impossible to say exactly what caused them, he was certain that lack of sleep was a factor, and so sleep had become of paramount importance. Only when he was alone did he feel at peace, and then he fell asleep moments after his head touched the pillow. It had been like that always, he told her. The last time he could remember sleeping well with someone next to him was when he was five, and had asked his mother to sit by the bed and hold his hand. But he still remembered the serenity of that, the goodness. And yet, whenever the German Boxer spoke of the unhappiness his inability had caused his wife and other women since her, his tone became frustrated and resentful: Why couldn't they understand that it was bad for him to share a bed? That it caused him to suffer?

Without Bohr to provoke him Heisenberg was left alone with his demons, and soon he had become his own worst enemy. He broke off into two people, giving long monologues that argued for his position and then Bohr's, and his enthusiasm was such that he could coon intimate perfectly the insufferable pedantry of his teacher, as if he had developed a split personality.

Nobody wants the cops involved. Nobody wants the state or the feds. Nobody wants taxes. Nobody wants problems. Nobody wants to pay. Forget the cowboy nonsense. To make things works in this country, you don't throw water on a man's face. You keep it quiet. You cut deals.

Do艣wiadczamy zar贸wno uprzywilejowania, jak i wymogu wyboru w艂asnej 艣cie偶ki. Poniewa偶 nie zadowala艂y si臋 ju偶 byciem anonimowymi cz艂onkami ludzkiej masy, czujemy swoje prawo do samostanowienia, oczywist膮 dla nas prawd臋, kt贸ra dla Sophie i Maca stanowi艂aby niewyobra偶alny przejaw pychy. Mentalno艣膰 ta to niezwyk艂e osi膮gni臋cie ludzkiego ducha, nawet je艣li skazuje na do偶ywotni膮 niepewno艣膰, l臋k i stres.

By膰 mo偶e j臋zyk pisany zosta艂 wymy艣lony jako skromny spos贸b opisywania rzeczywisto艣ci, ale stopniowo sta艂 si臋 pot臋偶nym sposobem jej przekszta艂cania. Kiedy oficjalne raporty zderza艂y si臋 z obiektywn膮 rzeczywisto艣ci膮, cz臋sto to rzeczywisto艣膰 musia艂a ust臋powa膰. Ka偶dy, kto kiedykolwiek mia艂 do czynienia z urz臋dem skarbowym albo inn膮 skomplikowan膮 biurokracj膮, wie, 偶e prawda raczej si臋 nie liczy. Zdecydowanie wa偶niejsze jest to co napisano na formularzu.

Jak to jest, 偶e mi艂o艣膰 rz膮dzi cz艂owiekiem? Prowadzi cz艂owieka ku najwi臋kszym po艣wi臋ceniom? Nikt ci臋, cz艂owieku, nie zmusi do takich po艣wi臋ce艅, ani strach, ani zazdro艣膰, do jakich zmusza ci臋 mi艂o艣膰, twoja w艂asna mi艂o艣膰.

Rodzina to nie s膮 tylko nasi krewni. Nasz膮 ludzk膮 rodzin臋 stanowi膮 nasi przyjaciele: ci, kt贸rzy mog膮 do nas przyj艣膰 bez zaproszenia i mog膮 od nas wyj艣膰 bez podawania powodu. To s膮 ci, na kt贸rych my liczymy w naszych przeprowadzkach, a tak偶e ci, kt贸rym od czasu do czasu powierzamy nasze dzieci. W pewnym sensie nasza rodzina to tak偶e autorzy ksi膮偶ek - tych najbardziej ulubionych ksi膮偶ek, do kt贸rych lubimy zagl膮da膰. To s膮 pisarze dawni i wsp贸艂cze艣ni. Wszyscy ci, kt贸rzy kszta艂towali nasz膮 dusz臋, i ci, kt贸rych dusze my艣my聽kszta艂towali.
