Thread: Wise Russian Sayings

Above all, don't lie to yourself.

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

~Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
 Quoting: Seer777


“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
~Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 Quoting: Seer777


What's left to learn about the potential for human barbarism that we didn't already know?

Do we as a species, have to be consistently reminded of our own potential for pure violence over and over, to keep us peaceful most the time?


Is it like Mouse Utopia? People get complacent and forget what it is like to starve?

North america was a proxy war which mirrored european ambitions and fueled them through cheap resources.

Americans all came from survivors that gambled on freedom and won.

I can respect that.

Imagine being able to manufacture a B-24 bomber in 1 hour and a Freedom ship in 4 days.

That's what passion and love gets you. Because you want to. Not because you're told to.

Re: Mad World
Fievel and his family were Russian. Their flight to America to escape murderous cats, defined my childhood in a nutshell.


The main protagonist, he is the seven-year old only son of Papa and Mama Mousekewitz. A high-spirited, daring yet naïve Russian-J***** mouse, Fievel becomes a frightened child when he is separated from his family.


Cossacks
The Cossacks are a group of predominantly East Slavic Orthodox Christian people who became known as members of democratic, self-governing, semi-military communities originating in the steppes of Eastern Europe (in particular the Dnieper, in the Wild Fields).

They inhabited sparsely populated areas and islands in the lower Dnieper, Don, Terek, and Ural river basins, and played an important role in the historical and cultural development of both Ukraine and Russia.

Watching people led to language and mimicry that got us where we are as a species.

Rules set boundaries that those who choose to, break or bend.

Rules like '15 years in prison for demonstrating against a war' is a hard pass from the whole of history and humanity.
