Dostoevsky wrote about how the pain
of our toothache is actually a pleasurable experience. When someone has a toothache
and other people are around we express our pain through moaning in order to get
attention. We moan and groan as loud and as unpleasant as possible not only to
evoke some kind of sympathy but also to annoy the people around us. We do it so
that the people around us can experience our pain, so that we do not have to
suffer alone.
A second thing we discussed is
taking offensive even when there is nothing to be offended by or that we are
not actually offended by. I’ve noticed
that one of my friends does this quite often. Since she feel like people are
not paying attention to her, she relates thing in conversation that has nothing
to do with her to herself and in turn becomes offended for no reason. I’ve done
the same thing sometimes to amuse myself when I’m bored. Dostoevsky’s always makes
me notice things that occur in my everyday life that I don’t notice.
