The Brothers Karamazov is a book published by the Russian writer Fyodor
Dostoyevsky in 1880 which explores themes of spirituality, psychology and
the changing nature of Russia. It's a piece of work mammoth 800 pages that
are never written today, but nevertheless provides value to those who read
it, especially if they are interested in understanding the Russian soul.
Here are my favorite quotes from the book & # 8230;
A man is to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he
does not discern the truth, either by himself or anywhere around him, and
thus falls into disrespect towards himself and 'other. Failure anyone, he
ceases to love, and not have love, it indulges in passions and coarse
pleasures, to occupy and have fun, and his vices reached bestiality
complete, and everything comes to lie constantly to others and to himself.
Without self-consciousness, the man can not see the errors of his behavior,
and always go the wrong way as if blindfolded. Worse, it can attack anyone
who tries to take off his blindfold.
"I love you madly, she said, even if you do not love myself no matter, to
be my husband. Do not be afraid, I stopped you in any way, I will be your
furniture, the carpet you walk on ... I want to love you forever, I want to
save you from yourself ... "
I don t believe it is possible to find a woman that would specify the same
today. Instead, she to explain, I love you madly Only then, and I expect
you to treat me as your queen. Fear, because if you embarrass me, I will
walk on you like you. Re my living room carpet, and make sure you do not
escape my punishment
There is no more or incessant tormenting care for man as long as he remains
free, only to find someone to worship at the earliest opportunity. But man
seeks to worship what is indisputable, so indisputable that all men would
agree at once universal worship of it. In support of these pitiful
creatures is not just to find something before I or any other man can
prostrate, but finding something that everyone also believe, and worshiped,
as it must necessarily be all set. This need for commonality of worship is
the chief torment of each man individually, and humanity as a whole, since
the early ages.
A man can make bold proclamations of being free, but as soon as he becomes
free, he quickly sought an object or being submitted, if it is a vice, a
woman or a god. It is impossible for a man to exist in nature without love
what he believes to be greater than himself.
With bread they gave you an indisputable banner: give bread man and worship
before you, because there is no more doubt that the bread. But if someone
else at the same time takes its oh-consciousness, then it will even throw
your bread and follow him who seduced his conscience. In that you were
right. For the mystery of the human being is not only in life, but what we
live for. Without a clear idea of what he saw, the man did not consent to
live and barely destroy than to stay on the land, even if the bread around
him.
When a man satisfies his needs, then develop a new need that begs for
satisfaction. How to control men, it seems, is to maintain a sustainable
state of need, so they don t escape the cycle of servile worship.
Freedom, free reason, science, and will lead them into such a maze, and
confront them with such miracles and insoluble mysteries, that some of them
unruly and fierce, will exterminate; others unruly but weak, will destroy
each other; and the remaining third, weak and miserable, will crawl to our
feet and cry out, "Yes, you were right, you have only its mystery, and we
come back to [the church] - save us from ourselves. "
The freedom of God and the tradition did not lead to true freedom. Instead,
it led to the submission to the egalitarian ideas, reason for which is
manipulated by the ruling class, and the female form, which is lofted above
us as the new gods who must be worshiped by all .
The world has proclaimed freedom, especially of late, but what we see in
this freedom to them that slavery and suicide! In the world says, "You have
needs, so satisfy them, you have the same rights as the noblest and richest
men. Do not be afraid to meet them, but even increase "- that is the
current education world. And what they see freedom. But what has this right
to increase its needs? For the rich, isolation and spiritual suicide; for
the poor, envy and murder, because they were given rights, but has not been
shown in any way to meet their needs.
[& # 8230;]
Take the liberty to tell the rise and rapid satisfaction of needs, they
distort their own nature because they generate a lot of sense and foolish
desires, habits and the most absurd fantasies in themselves. They live only
for mutual envy, for the pursuit of pleasure and self-display. For dinners,
horses, cars, rank, and slaves to serve is now considered such a need for
the good of it, to satisfy, they sacrifice the life, honor, the love of
humanity, and will even kill if they are unable to satisfy.
Materialism has failed, as expected Dostoyevsky. He produced such a
spiritual vacuum that the company's suicide switch has become by those on
the left who want to destroy us all. While they are actively involved in
the promotion of infertility, authoritarianism, and death, the elite class
knows the decline of experience of wealth that can not be penetrated in
Dostoevsky's time.
And so the idea of serving humanity, brotherhood and unity of the people
is fading more and more in the world, and even the idea even now meeting
with mockery, because how can you drop habits, where does this slave go now
he is so used to satisfy the many needs that he himself invented? It is
isolated, and what he cares about the whole? They managed to raise more and
more things, but less joy.
In a world where everything can be bought, what is valuable? If you can
travel anywhere worth seeing? If you can take a photo every second of your
life, what image deserves another look? Pleasures that would have satisfied
the kings of the past simply shrug raise normies today, and even if they
are released from matter and embark on a journey to helping others, he is
not from personal charity, but to signal the moral superiority that I'm
better than you because I m help someone other than yourself. The help
drive becomes a personal weapon to attack others because it allows to
receive a selfish pleasure which is higher than the material enjoyment.
If the wickedness of people arouses indignation and insurmountable pain in
you, to the point that you want revenge on the evil, fear that the most of
all feeling; go at once and seek to torment yourself, as if you were guilty
of their wickedness. Take these torments on yourself and suffer them, and
your heart will be relaxed, and you will understand that you too are
guilty, you might have shone the wicked, even as [Jesus], but you do not
have it. If you shone your light would have lit the way for others, and the
one who made the wickedness might not be your light.
It is easier to declare someone an enemy to hold a mirror to ourselves and
the identity of the true source of our anger. Instead, our first instinct
when someone is in conflict with our point of view is to make fun of them
and share mockery for all to see, I have personally made many times. When
you have lost the connection with your neighbor, and when your neighbor
acts as if it's in another country, there is no motivation for mutual
understanding.
Your job is to all, your act is for the future. Never seek reward, for your
reward is great in the earth without: your spiritual joy that get the right.
I can not help but think that this work would not succeed today because of
its length. attention span is too short and patience is too limited for all
but the continuing drama and action. Instead, it gives us a slice of family
conflicts and soul search as a country has undertaken a major change that
reflects much of what happened in the West. In Dostoevsky, we can add
another author premonition that we clearly warned against what would happen
if we killed the tradition and God.
