My brother, nici ivan vich, is two years Younger than I. When we were boys, our father died, leaving us with the smallest state. But after his death, the eve state went to pay his death. We spent our childhood in the countryside, just like present children playing in the fields, working in the mail and so on. But IT was no life of misery. Anyway, at age nineteen, my brother began employment as a court clerk. Years passed by, and he thought of only one thing, how to return to the country. He used to drop plans of his dream mistake that would always have the same things on them, a farmhouse, a cottage, a vegetable garden and a gooseberry bush.

But as pushkin said, the illusion which exhaust us is dear to us than ten thousand fruits. I saw a happy men, one whose dream had come true. But IT also filled me with a sensitive, deep despair. IT appears that a happy man only feels so because the unhappy bear their burden in silence. And without that silence, happiness would be impossible. But life for sooner later, show its close to those who are selfish. Some, this fortune will come for them, illness, poverty, thus, and then no one will see or hear them, just as they now neither see nor hear. Others even then walked over to elio kan and shake his hand firmly with both hands. my dear friend, don't be satisfied. Think of all those poor souls in need. Well, you're still Young, strong and wealthy. Do not cease to do good. My only regret in life is that I ve got to this grand old date without even a thought for others. Wow, how I wish I weren't so.
