Those with a Gilbert AZ IRS Problem
Let us review a few quotes from the famous Russian novelist and see how they might apply to your Gilbert AZ IRS problem.
But first let us share a brief biography of Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Fyodor Dostoevsky is renowned as one of the world’s greatest novelists and literary psychologists. Born in Moscow in 1821, the son of a doctor, Dostoevsky was educated first at home and then at a boarding school. When he was a young boy, his father sent him to the St Petersburg Academy of Military Engineering, from which he graduated in 1843. Dostoevsky had long been interested in writing and he immediately resigned from his position in the military to devote himself to writing.
Dostoevsky’s early view of the world was shaped by his experience with social injustice. At the age of twenty-six, Dostoevsky became active in socialist circles, largely because of his opposition to the institution of serfdom. His political opinions were influenced by his experiences as a young boy—his father was murdered by his own serfs while Dostoevsky was away at school. Another experience that greatly affected Dostoevsky, and found its way into his writing, was the time he spent in prison.
Dostoevsky wrote with genuine compassion for the poor. Rather than just exhorting the rich and powerful to do something for those humiliated by poverty, oppression, and insult, he endeavored to find some shred of dignity in them and revealed their inner worth. Yet even as he made himself the novelist of the poor and the insulted, he had to fight his own battles against debt and oppression.
In 1846, Dostoevsky found himself in debt to an unscrupulous publisher and just three years later, he was arrested for working with a group that planned to publish illegal articles calling for political reform. In the middle of the 19th century, Russia was ruled by the reactionary Nicholas the First, who had crushed an uprising against him on his very first day as Tsar in December 1825 and thereafter set out to silence every voice of dissent.
On April 23, 1849, Dostoevsky was arrested for his participation in a group that illegally printed and distributed socialist propaganda. After spending eight months in prison, Dostoevsky was sentenced to death for membership in the group and was led, with other members of the group, to be shot. But the execution turned out to be a mere show, meant to punish the prisoners psychologically. Just as he and others were to be shot, a horseman rode up at the last second with a reprieve from the Czar. Dostoevsky then spent four years at a labor camp in Siberia, followed by four years of forced military service.
Dostoevsky never forgot his four years in a Siberian prison. He never forgot the filth, stench, chains, cockroaches and the loathing he endured from his “lowborn” fellow convicts. But prison became the crucible in which Dostoevsky re-forged his own soul. Almost miraculously, he emerged from it with a renewed faith in the teachings of Christ and the value of common people—even convicts. He was released from prison in 1854.
In 1857, Dostoevsky married Mariya Dmitriyevna Isayeva. In 1859, he returned to St. Petersburg a full 10 years after he left it. There he launched a new journal with his brother Mikhail and published a book about his ordeal in Siberia. By 1865 he had reached the height of his powers and needed all the internal strength he could muster. He was faced with the death of his brother and of his own tubercular wife whom he had married seven years before. During this time he struggled with poverty, epilepsy, and an addiction to gambling.
In 1867, he married a second time to Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina, who helped him with his medical challenges and served as his stenographer for his novel, The Brothers Karamazov, which is one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century, and remains the capstone of Dostoevsky’s achievement today. Dostoevsky died in 1881, only a year after The Brothers Karamazov was published.
The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoevsky’s deepest and most complex examination of crucial philosophical questions dealing with the human condition. In it, he addresses the conflict between faith and doubt, the problem of free will, and the question of moral responsibility.
Dostoevsky Quotes
- One must love life before loving its meaning. When the love of life ceases, no meaning can console us.
This is without question my favorite quote. It perhaps has influenced me in how I live my life differently than before. I grew up thinking that if one knew the meaning of life, that would be enough to love life. From Dostoevsky I learned that the exact opposite is true. We must first love life and if we don’t then it has no meaning or what we thought was the meaning of life cannot console us or bring us happiness.
A serious problem with the IRS can rob us of loving life as much as any of life’s challenges. I have seen marriages and families break up, homes lost, credit destroyed, and the list goes on and on. I have also seen the amazing change that comes over a client once their IRS problem is resolved. Now food taste better, Disneyland is fun, sleep is deep and relaxing, hobbies are enjoyable and sex is satisfying.
