The worst thing I have ever read in Russian literature
I asked Roberta one day and I told her:
?What keeps you serving a drunk man all night
Aren't you afraid of my absurdity when you take wine with my mind?
She laughed and then said: Sir, all those who tried to violate my body were not drinking alcohol.
I didn't see any of them drunk.
They were reading, writing, giving advice, dripping with wisdom, and drawing crosses all the time.
You alone did not try.
?!I said: How
?Would you describe to me how I feel when I am drunk and how do you reassure me
Roberta said:
When she gets drunk, she cries and says things that I can almost write down out of emotion.
?I said: Do you remember anything about it
She said: Yes. You swear to a woman that you still love her and will never love anyone else.
(Of course, he was repeating the name of his young wife, who died from the Spanish flu.)
?I said: What reassures you about this
She said: The subconscious, sir...
?I said surprised: What do you mean by subconscious
She said: I have read that when we lose consciousness, we are controlled by greater and truer forces that never lie, because we simply lose control over them.
Everything over which a person has lost control does not lie.
All the foolishness of the world came from lying in the name of awareness, sir.
You are truer in your intoxication than all the lies I have seen from people who lie in the name of awareness.
Antoine Chekhov
