If You Want to Lie Down All Day, Simone Weil Says This Is Why

Описание: Ever feel like you just want to lie down all day? Not from physical exhaustion, but from a deep heaviness that makes even simple tasks feel impossible? French philosopher Simone Weil had a profound insight into why this happens—and it's not what you think.

In this video, we explore Weil's concept of "gravity"—the downward pull that comes from constantly fleeing reality, performing roles, and maintaining an artificial self. She reveals why willpower and discipline often make things worse, and points to something entirely different that actually lifts us up.

You'll discover:

Why the desire to do nothing might be wisdom, not weakness
The exhausting weight of unreality we carry every day
How attention, not effort, is the key to transformation
The difference between escaping yourself and genuinely resting
What it means to come home to who you actually are

This isn't about productivity hacks or motivation techniques. It's about understanding what's really happening beneath the surface when we feel too heavy to move—and what becomes possible when we stop fighting ourselves.
