Dostoevsky

On February 9, today's history shows that Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky died in 1881. I'll have to see a masterpiece later on. 

​

Before I talk, I read a book and introduce a bad habit. I'll tell you more tomorrow, and one of them is that when I read a book, I get acupuncture on my fingers. Especially old books have germs that we don't know about. Even if it's a new book, it could be another one that has been drooled. I found out this time. I'll minimize the area where I meet the end of a page with the tip of my finger. You have to keep the little things. You shouldn't get sick while reading a book.

◇ Last 5 minutes

​

There was a 28-year-old Russian young man on death row in the cold 50s. He was given the last five minutes, and the young man wrote the last five minutes. Two minutes planned to say good-bye to fellow death row inmates, another two minutes to clear up 28 years of life and the other one to look around nature.

​

The last five minutes have never come so precious to him. So five minutes passed as planned. And soon the fear of death came.

​

Then Lee Chung-nyun was struck by another idea.

​

"If I had been given five more minutes... ...regret came over me for the time I had wasted in this short period of time.

​

And the process under which the death penalty was executed was carried out. Then something miraculous happened. From a distance, a soldier came running with the emperor's order of special envoy.

​

"The Emperor has issued a special order to stop the execution."

The young man was dramatically spared the death penalty.

​

Since then, the young man has not wasted a minute or a second.

​

As a result, this year was able to leave behind such masterpieces as "Crime and Punishment," "The Brothers of Karamazov" and "Eternal Meetings." The young man's name is Dostoevsky.

◇ Dostoevsky's famous saying

​

Money makes all inequalities equal.

​

Nothing is so happy as to sacrifice oneself. 

​

The most important thing in life is not to be discouraged by failure, nor to be intoxicated with joy by success. 

​

The secret of a harmonious married life is to never reach the point of death or death. 

​

You should love life itself more than it means. 

​

Many misfortunes arise from embarrassment and silence.

​

Pain is always inevitable for a man of great awareness and deep feelings.
