"I am forced to kill, because the high point of my will is to kill myself."
I read once of a Russian writer, usually by the unpronounceable name, who had planned his suicide three years.
For 3 years he has filed a large brass knob that served as a teapot handle, so it was small enough to pass in an old muzzle-loading gun, and then use it as a bullet to shoot himself in the heart.
What determination! 1000 days without ever change your mind.
And immediately I was reminded that a Mr. Kirillov . This was a nice gentleman (a surveyor and I am suspicious), which for a long time I thought it was a real character, before discovering that it was just a character in a work by Dostoyevsky .
I started to read Dostoevsky's "Besy". Demons. This continues to ripresentarmisi during my readings, along with this that Kirillov, of which I only knew that he had killed.
One day I decided then that I should try to read this book, which was named so often, find out who this was and why he was killed Kirillov.
When I found out because he was killed, I could not ignore it. It was said that he had killed to prove that god does not exist. If this fact leaves you baffled, I recommend reading this short but deep dialogue from "Demons". The book is worth to be read only for these few lines.
In summary, we would call a nihilist. In the dialogue above, Kirillov party claiming that there are two main reasons why the man did not commit suicide: the first is the pain
"Imagine," he stopped in front of me, "Imagine a rock of a size as a large house, takes you on the head, if you fall on me on the head, will make you sick? "still do not want to spoil any reading of ' article I mentioned above. If nothing else, you will have the opportunity to try to read some Dostoevsky, and maybe know that like me, in the end you do not like at all.
" A boulder as a homeowner? Of course, scary. "
" I do not speak of fear will make you sick? "
" A boulder like a mountain, a million pud? It is intended, no harm. "
" But put yourself under real, and while hanging, you'll have a lot of fear that makes you sick. Every first scientist, each first doctor, everybody, everybody would have a lot of fear. Everyone knows that if it does not hurt, and everyone would be afraid to hurt. "
