"Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing". Fyodor Dostoyevsky

âAbove 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.â
â Fyodor Dostoevsky

âPain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.â

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.

"But how can you live and have no story to tell?"
-Fyodor Dostoevsky

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 wonât choose you because your lack of confidence. I think itâs 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.

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

This was something I was literally just thinking. It seems like the more you try the more stress and anxiety I have. Not only that, i'm a deep thinker, and I also noticed thinking too much causes a lot of my anxiety. Should I counter this by thinking less even tho critical thinking is essential???? Should I try less, or do things with little to no effort??? But than I won't be as efficient. It just feels like this is the universes way of keeping us contained, or boxed in for whatever reason...

Here is what I have learned from Crime and Punishment. We are all bound by these chains in life that make us uncomfortable, and so we break them to be free of suffering. But what if freedom is empty? What if what's beyond this rock that we are tied to is ultimately a hell far worse than the one we suffered in those chains? at least when we are suffering morality, relationships, people, and society we aren't doing it alone. But if you take that step and break all those chains, what are you without them? Maybe what we suffer is what gives our life context.

Interesting fact, the famous phrase "with great power comes great responsibility," although typically is only attributed to Spider Man's uncle was said by Dostoevsky first. "I tell you, that great power necessitates great responsibility."

âYouâre damned if ya do, youâre damned if ya donât.â - Fyodor Dostoevsky

I used to live in such a nihilistic viewpoint: âthat nothing mattered, including me, so what does it matter what I do?â And there was a time where I was PURELY an optimist: âEVERYTHING IS FINE IM OK, IM HAPPY!!!â(toxic positivity)
Now, as Iâve grown older, I consider myself an âoptimistic nihilist:â yeah, some things may not matter, but make sure you enjoy he things that âdonât matter;â or the âpeople who may not matter.â Bc we only have one life; yeah thatâs repeated so many times, but itâs true. We need to have some sort of realism in our lives, but we canât be so obsessed with technology, science, and reasoning; too much reasoning can make someone mad and depressed. Here has to be some sense of unknowing ness; something that IS illogical, no matter how much the nihilistic side of me waists to debate how I should ONLY think logically. Besides, thinking only in a logical sense is very draining. But also thinking only optimistically is also draining. So, thats why I choose a little of both.
