More From Milan Kundera

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have. if you are miserable you are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening, so confront that. look it square in the eye without flinching. when you are having a bad time, examine that experience, observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn its mechanics. the way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, learn how it is built. you do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. the trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. the result is freedom.

The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or god-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. to such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. so some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground.

It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.
