Accordingly, he rented a room for Tereza and her heavy suitcase. He wanted to be able to watch over her, protect her, enjoy her presence, but felt no need to change his way of life.

Milan Kundera: The unbearable lightness of being
If there were no eternal consequences for our actions and intentions, then what is stopping us from living a life where we are free to do what we want? Of course I don’t believe in the non-existence of an eternal consequential state. But when men has desires beyond their realm they are capable of doing stupid things. I guess God made men and women opposites so that they could attract, but the responsibility which He places upon those attraction can be the heaviest burden of all. If men were created without any free will that is we are the product of divine predestination, then whatever I intend to do will have no weight on the eternal consequence because the eternal consequence is already preordained. Then why is it that we feel the lightness of being when we take away responsibility from the equation? Does lightness always equate happiness?
