Fyodor Dostoevsky – A Strange Man’s Dream

monopoly85 — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 12:16:26 +0000

This is one of my all-time favorites. The story is about a man who has lost all his faith and consequently decided to kill himself. However, shortly before he is about to part with our earth something trivial and yet highly emotional happens. He enters in a dream which is wonderful and authentic that after waking up he realizes that is destiny is to preach about what he has learned – the Truth.

First few seconds:

“I am a strange person. Now they call me a madman. That would be a promotion if it were not that I remain as strange in their eyes as before. But now I do not resent it, they are all dear to me now, even when they laugh at me – and, indeed, it is just then that they are particularly dear to me. I could join in their laughter – not exactly at myself, but through affection for them, if I did not feel so sad as I look at them. Sad because they do not know the truth and I do know it. Oh, how hard it is to be the only one who knows the truth! But they won’t understand that. No, they won’t understand it.”
