Something seems to happen when people perform
certain solemn or, to the contrary, necessary repetitive
quotidian actions: something that fills these
activities with discrete meanings. The act of ascribing
meaning to actions, when an individual believes to
have overcome the immanence of the utilitarian
quotidian, or has indeed overcome it, can be either
instinctive or conscious. In my opinion, in these cases
humanity appears as either its lookalike, or, to the
contrary, comes forcefully to the surface.
(Vlada Ralko, The Phantom of Liberty)
