The Trial by Kafka

*Spoilers if you want to read*

If you think you're oppressed, you are.

In the story the main character Josef K (referred to as "K") gets arrested at the start. Through out he learns drips and drabs about the legal system he's being accused by. He does not learn what he's accused of, when his court date is, and what his punishment might be. But rest assured, he is told his case is very serious and he is in a lot of trouble, so best behaviour yeah? During the year that follows he becomes a shell of what he used to be and what he stood for, becoming unfocused on work and no longer making meaningful relationships with those around him.

At the end he is unceremoniously killed at the middle of the night with a knife in the chest on a rock under the moon. K was strangely at peace with this.

K suffered more in the year leading up to his execution, every minute looking over his shoulder, wondering what, where and when any of the process would take a step forward. What a relief when it finally came to an end.

Most of our daily life is spent worrying bills, rent, relationships and anything under the sun. Worrying that the sky is going to fall causes more harm than the sky actually falling.

My five year plan is to just see what happens
