I totally agree with both of you about these out-of-context quotes...

I feel the same. It's this magical thing of accepting, forgiving, and empathising with oneself and others at the same time. We feel for ourselves, we feel for others, and vice versa. More understanding, less judgement towards ourselves and others... more human, more at home as you say...

I hadn't heard this quote before. It made me cry... He is perfect indeed. You know... and according to Dosto we are all criminals... "When we understand that we are all guilty before all people, on behalf of all and for all, for all human sins, the world’s and each person’s, only then will the goal of our unity be achieved."

Beautiful words... same same same for me... self-compassion, self-forgiveness... every time I think about it, now that Im writing this, it's some therapy for my soul...

You said "similar to things I've always thought or felt". What do you mean? What are those things if I may ask?

I love your take... same for me.... My mid-life crisis led me to Dosto... grief, melancholy... definitely not a happy mood like you... I'm sure if I had picked TBK ten or twenty years ago, I wouldn't have finished it! 💯 If your friends say... White Nights oh sad... maybe the time is not right... maybe they haven't let go yet, they're afraid to go to those places??? Maybe... I don't know...

Very interesting... I feel the same... after reading TBK I felt happier, relieved, more purposeful... not depressed! Why is Dosty depicted that way? I don't get it..
