In Rus', educated people often searched for God. Somewhere away ... in the simple people for example. Good old men at Tolstoy. The elder Zosima here falls out of the row - he is clearly intellectual, not a "prostaman". In general, Dostoevsky, although sometimes calls for “falling to the ground and to the people,” the people know too well to expect “miracles and focus” from him as Dinburg wrote.
But I was distracted. In the past and the century before last, the Russian intellectual dull that the ordinary people would teach him faith. Now this search for faith takes a new scope. Ecumenical.
Fat, simple black woman dreams of my Frend. She sings songs, and ... I will quote:
"This is a television bond about the faith that two polar participants invite: for and against. And I am sitting with someone as a spectator, but so informally that literally on the floor at the feet of two chairs.
How the first round passed, I don’t remember, and on the second, a fat black woman played for faith. And before the start, she held out her hands, boldly and smoothly, was interested in everyone. A simple and straight woman is like that. She told me at first sight:
- You have a very serious look. You just have depression. And you do it yourself.
It was said in passing, but without a la old man or guru. Something like that with everyone.
The debate began. (I hardly remember her opponent: someone is serious and thinker.) She did not say a word about faith, but she suggested that she sing some kind of life, a children's song. Just faith in normal - this is about life ... "
