#dostoevsky was right,

my worst sin is,

in fact,

destroying

and betraying

myself

for nothing.

Baffled at today’s youth lack of etiquette when sharing (or not, actually) the sidewalk. Maybe #Dostoevsky had a point.

I read quite a bit, mostly fiction, and mostly modern crime/murder novels. My youngest Son has just finished this, and has recommended it to me, so in I go 😬 #Itstime #Dostoevsky #CrimeAndPunishment

Author: Paulo Coelho

Novel: Veronika Decides to Die

Coelho was awfully prescient with this one… And its sentiment can be applied to so many recent and past events depending on how you see the world. It always stuck with me.

The Possessed (Demons) by Fyodor Dostoevsky | Classic Audiobook on Revolution, Chaos & the Human Soul Part 1 ⭐ Literary Star-Rated Review ★★★★★ (5/5) – A Dark, Explosive Masterpiece of Ideas and Madness The Possessed is one of Dostoevsky’s most intense and politically charged novels—a gripping exploration of radical ideology, moral collapse, and spiritual emptiness. Set in a provincial Russian town, the story unravels as a group of revolutionaries descend into chaos, manipulation, and violence. Dostoevsky masterfully exposes the dangers of nihilism and unchecked intellectual pride, presenting characters who are both deeply philosophical and tragically flawed. The novel is as much a psychological study as it is a prophetic warning about societal unrest. This audiobook is essential listening for those drawn to deep, thought-provoking literature. It challenges, unsettles, and ultimately reveals profound truths about freedom, responsibility, and the human condition.

These traits can be seen in Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Dostoevsky’s *Crime and Punishment*. Because of them, he commits a crime and is saved by Sonya, but Trump and their followers are absolutely beyond redemption.

Furthermore,
・A sense of being a rootless outlaw
・Political claims as elusive as grasping at clouds
・Raw, violent instincts
・Narcissism masquerading as idealism

“I am forty years old now, and forty years is a whole lifetime; it is the deepest old age. To live beyond forty is indecent, vulgar, immoral!
Who lives past forty? Answer honestly, sincerely! I’ll tell you who: fools and scoundrels.”
