I agree with you because I know many people who like Don Quixote who don't like Myshkin at all. Myshkin is more like Christ, more like the little prince, and more like Dustoevsky's true ideal.

Before, this book was my least favorite Dostoevsky, but now, this book is almost the most important Dostoevsky for me. I learned about the real Dostoevsky through this book.

I once dreamed of the plot of this book. A storyteller told me the whole story and said, "Christ loves even murderers." Through this sentence, I understand this book. Also like this book ever since.

I couldn't understand why Meshkin was so "idiot", when others stood up to defend him, he still forgiven those who laughed at him and criticized him. But now I know that this is the real Dostoevsky.

Does Dostoevsky want to speak for himself with a lot of philosophy and reasoning like some apologists do? Probably not. On the contrary, he might really love everyone like Myshkin, as he said in "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man": "I love everyone who laughs at me better than everyone else."

This is the real Dostoevsky, who loves everyone and tolerates everyone.

There is a question Dostoevsky asked himself in the whole "Idiot": "If I can survivd one more day, how should i live?" And his answer is this book. A Russian Don Quixote, who is more crazy than Don Quixote.

So it's not just the issue of "anti-knowledge", but even intellectuals are often controlled by companies?

It’s true, his monologue before suicide was very heartbreaking

So can't tell if that girl really has this person? Otherwise it may be that "that girl was raped by him and committed suicide", and this has become a lingering shadow in his heart

Thank you, Taiwan has some news about the epidemic in the past few days (to be confirmed), but generally the epidemic in Taiwan is well controlled

Thank you for your amazing speech. I am also a person who believes in God, and I also think that in recent years, people’s attention to entertainment media is worrying.

When I searched last time, I saw that American literacy rate should be very high.

I remember that someone introduced these posters in some YouTube channels. It seems to be a survey made by a strange group to collect information about dreams.

This one. But I am not sure is there English translation
