RE: 15 (Bilingual) Aphorisms by a Russian Friend, Mikhail Kuzmin
Yahia, I'm so glad you have Russian friends out there ))
Maybe you've heard of "The mysterious Russian soul", it's quite a concept and a puzzle that people are making attempts to solve and yet don't manage ) that's why it remains "mysterious". So, I think that the kind of thoughts of Russian people, you presented in the post, are those hints for solving the puzzle of the Russian soul!
This one struck me the most:
Dreams — the wrinkles of youth.Poetical, wise and beautiful in general!!!!!
I’m glad these found you; I was hoping you would :)
As I might’ve mentioned to you, I’ve much admiration for Russian literature— the world classics—and, am happy to discover moderns :)
If I had to describe “the Russian Soul” based on my readings & people I know, I’d say: profound, emotional (almost sentimental), intimate understanding of suffering & with a savage humor!
