It Will Quickly Transform A Life Into Unbearable

It will quickly transform a life into unbearable discipline under a command of vicious people. On light there is already variety of the organisations constructed on such beginnings. Store us the Lord from them and from their influence... No, it is impossible for us without love: it is great gift - to see the best, to select it and to live it. It is necessary and precious ability to tell "yes", to accept and begin self-denying service. As the human life, deprived this gift is terrible! In what desert, his life turns to what platitude! From the letter of Russian religious philosopher Ivan Ilyin to the son (it is published in the book "Singing heart", Munich, 1958) The author has allowed to me to read finishing chapter "Ivan-yes-Marja". I will not speak about it as a whole, I will not begin to estimate Egor's researches: the good fellow what there to make comments, all does thoroughly. I will tell only that has deeply excited me. I am already old woman who has lived such long (and such short!) a life in this mad and fine world.
