I wish the Russians to realize their crimes and take personal responsibility. This is infinite pain

"Pain is unavoidable, and whether to suffer or not is a matter of choice." I remembered this from Murakami's running memoirs a long time ago. And I often recall it during the war.

There is a lot of pain because of the attack on Dnipro, and many of us have been drowning in pain. It is often scary how different, how infinitely inventive Death is. No less creative than Life.

"Full-time security guard's" thoughts run through my head "Are you sure you want to continue working and seeing the sky during an air raid alarm? Wouldn't it be better if the alarm caught you walking your dog in the woods, not when you're walking alongside your husband, so that you wouldn't both be killed?" A military horror of everyday decisions.

I used to determine the enemy to be 'Russia,' but now I'm seeing it as 'Russians.' They are guilty. I feel anger. But thoughts like "we will not forgive - we will take revenge" do not poison my body. Because I firmly believe in the inevitability of punishment. Moreover, I believe that a crime attracts punishment - because it is a mechanism built into every soul.

"Every person, no matter how much they lie to themselves about their motives, knows what they have done or not done. The memory of every action is written in the Soul - those files can never be erased. They are the "movie" that flashes in the memory before death, which is not the end"

Every person, no matter how much they lie to themselves about their motives, knows what they have done or not done. The memory of every action is written in the Soul - those files will never be erased. They are the 'movie' that flashes in the memory before death, which is not the end.

Every act of selfishness and immorality creates a distortion in the Soul - and sooner or later this distortion will begin to return to normal, like a dent in a ball. This is karma. Every action has a consequence. Every offense is an unconscious call to eventually be in the exact same state of pain as the person we offended. And karma doesn't care whether you take responsibility for your actions or blame others and circumstances.

"Every action has a consequence. Every offense is an unconscious call to eventually be in the same state of pain as the person we offended"

My worldview is a mix of Christianity and Buddhism. I believe in reincarnation, and I know for sure that the next lives of our offenders will be just trashy. And especially those whom we will not be able to get and prosecute in this life.

And addressing the Russians. I think there is something more effective than successful revenge and the most severe punishment. And this is what I wish for Russians. Realization. Awareness of their crimes and personal responsibility. This is infinite pain. And only in the pain is a hint of a possible qualitative rebirth.
