“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

It's really ironic that even now we have instant communication with the world, it's all literature from ages ago that guides us instead.

I once read a comment, that still stays with me. It is not about the harder you try, it is more about the negativity you put into it. Some people do nothing and it gets worse, some do something and they feel great. It is about the energy, if you want something REALLY REALLY BAD, you kind of put negative energy in it and push it away from you, f. e. when you really want someone and then the person can sense your desperation and kind of feels to pressured. Or when you really really want a job and then you feel to insecure and anxious, so the boss won’t choose you because your lack of confidence. I think it’s about the energy, when you really want a good grade, put in the effort and the good energy (staying calm), then you will get it eventually. But if you let negativity run you, I think you push thinks away. So have hope, and trust. Be optimistic.

Sometimes when you’re chasing something you will get lost in the chase. When you finally end up achieving your goal it will feel empty and you won’t even know why you did it. I feel like I’m always looking for that missing piece that will make me whole when no such piece exists. You have to come to terms with yourself and with life, which might never happen.

Crime and Punishment describes guilt better than any book I have ever read. It is also one of the greatest books written.

As I sit here pondering the words of Fyodor Dostoevsky, I am struck by the profundity of his philosophy. The idea that the harder you try, the worse it gets is one that has resonated with me on many occasions. I have experienced firsthand the feeling of putting in all my effort and still falling short. It can be disheartening, but it is in these moments that we must remind ourselves of the importance of perseverance. Dostoevsky believed that the struggle itself was what gave life meaning. It is through our struggles that we grow and become stronger individuals. When we are faced with obstacles, we have a choice: to give up or to keep going. It is easy to give up when things get tough, but it is in pushing through that we develop resilience and determination. The road to success is rarely a smooth one. There will be setbacks, failures, and moments of doubt. But it is those who are willing to persist through the challenges who ultimately achieve greatness. So, when faced with the daunting task of achieving our goals, let us remember the words of Dostoevsky and embrace the struggle. For it is through the struggle that we discover our true strength and potential.

Once I asked an old man who he was, then he replied: "I'm nobody or nothing". At that time I didn't get what he meant by that but now I realize what he meant.
