This letter from December 1972, written in Prague, serves as a profound philosophical congratulation to friends on their marriage or commitment to a life together. The authors, Láďa and Heda, initially explain the delay in their correspondence due to state censorship and mail surveillance, reflecting the political climate of contemporary Czechoslovakia. However, the core of the text focuses on an original conception of happiness and "goodness." The authors challenge conventional wishes for fulfilled dreams and plans; they argue that the truly best things in life are unpredictable and occur beyond human planning. They emphasize the importance of patient waiting with hope and the ability to remain open to the future even during difficult times. According to them, the essence of a good life is a shared hope that does not cling to a present moment full of hardships but looks forward to that which transcends the individual. The text is thus a valuable document of existential thought and inner freedom in the face of external oppression.
