...why is everything like this in this world, and not any other way? I saw this in the news today: In the Kostroma region, they raided a "forest man." A man lived in the forest for 15 years in a self-built hut. He lived by hunting and gathering. Sometimes he would trade furs in villages for things that he couldn't get in the forest. A hermit. Sometimes he would talk to the villagers and help them with various things. Riot police arrived and shot him. He didn't want to leave. They tried to force him out, but he used a Berdanka rifle. He wounded a couple of people. So they killed him. The question is... why did they need him? He had been living there for so long and wasn't bothering anyone. It was his choice, his right. But they decided to enforce the law. Sometimes I feel like it would be good to live like that, far away from society and the stupidity, anxieties, and boredom associated with it. But here's what happened. I can't even find the right words. And they burned his hut along with all his belongings. The end of the story. And how can you believe in a bright future for the nation, and for humanity in general, after that? Dictatorship? Orwell was a prophet? Intolerance? Imposing one's will? I can't answer these questions...
