What could be more opposed to the human spirit than to have to inhabit four walls when, potentially, there would be a whole planet to explore?And yet Pascal’s idea usefully challenges one of our most cherished beliefs: that we must always go to new places in order to feel and discover new and worthwhile things. The first is an encouragement to think. From his sofa, de Maistre spies his bed. Aujourd’hui, Blaise Pascal scrute avec lucidité, dans ses “Pensées”, les misères d’une condition humaine condamnée à s’oublier pour se supporter.Être obligé de rester chez soi, même bien logé et nourri, a quelque chose d’insupportable… Mais quoi, exactement ? This is an enormous pity. An original thought might, for example, alienate us from what people around us think of as normal. Part of why we feel the need for so many new experiences may simply be that we are so bad at absorbing the ones we have had.To help us focus more on our memories, we need nothing technical. If we took a given new idea seriously, we might have to abandon a relationship, leave a job, ditch a friend, apologise to someone, rethink our sexuality or break a habit. In the imagination, we can enjoy unsullied views. Publié le 01/04/20 mis à jour le 15/07/20 We have not only been locked away; we have also been granted the privilege of being able to travel around a range of unfamiliar, sometimes daunting but essentially wondrous inner continents.It's hard to understand who we really are: what we want, how we feel and why we react as we do.
But during periods of confinement, aside from the obvious inconveniences, we might come to cherish some of what is granted to us when we lose our customary liberties. Once again, from a traveller’s vantage point, he learns to appreciate this complex piece of furniture. We are hugely careless curators of our own pasts. Actualités. We ruin our trips by a fateful habit of taking ourselves along on them. He feels grateful for the nights he has spent in it and takes pride that his sheets almost match his pyjamas. Without the need for luggage, he ‘travels’ to the sofa, the largest piece of furniture in the room, which he looks at it through fresh eyes and appreciates anew. If only we could apply a travelling mindset to our own rooms and immediate neighbourhoods, we might find these places becoming no less interesting than foreign lands. ‘I advise every man who can to get himself pink and white bedlinen,’ he writes, for these are colours to induce calm and pleasant reveries in the fragile sleeper.However playful, de Maistre’s work springs from a profound and suggestive insight: that the pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.
A duck will take a piece of bread as gladly from a criminal as from a high-court judge; from a billionaire as from a bankrupt felon; our individuality is suspended and, on certain days, that may be an enormous relief.On our walk around the block, themes we’d lost touch with – childhood, an odd dream we had recently, a friend we haven’t seen for years, a big task we had always told ourselves we’d undertake – float into attention. He admires the elegance of its feet and remembers the pleasant hours he has spent cradled in its cushions, dreaming of love and professional success. No one has missed us, or perhaps even noticed that we’ve been out. However, it is rare to be left entirely indifferent by flowers when the world has narrowed dramatically and there is global sadness in the air.
