The Adventure of Your Life

Dostoevsky said that things around you would be far better if you weren't less than you should be. There's an open question of the future is how much better could things be if you got your act together and how much less terrible would they be, he says. You see people bearing up under unbelievable loads and acting in a incredibly beneficial and heroic way under circumstances that are absolutely dreadful like yourself from time to time it's within the power of a human being to do that.
