O Idiota Dostoievski -

— Príncipe Míchkin, O Idiota

Dostoevsky calls it hell.

We have pathologized kindness. We tell our children, "Don’t be a pushover." We tell our friends, "They don’t deserve your empathy." We have decided that to be good is to be naive; to be moral is to be a mark. o idiota dostoievski
