Borrowing the concept of weight from natural philosophy to understand human beings, Augustine said "my weight is my love". In this way, he not only destroyed the classical thought of weight and the natural order behind it, but also reconstructed the conception of self in the tension of nature and freedom. Love as weight implies that human beings are free creature whose minds tend to settle down. That is to say, unlike stone, the self has no place of rest in the natural order. He can finally arrive at his place only by anxiously experiencing the de-naturalized free temptation and undertaking the necessary but insignificant work. It is in seeking eternal rest that the individuals are definitely made to be unpeaceful self as quaestio.
