Indifference — a paralysis of the soul, premature death, "- thought AP Czechs. This man, who began his career with a career doctor, and then became one of the most famous writers of the world scale, it is considered a disease of the indifference of his time. In the 18th century, AN Radischev wrote in "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow": "I looked at my neighborhood — my soul was wounded human suffering." These words, in my opinion, with certainty could subscribe and Chekhov. But it like a man deeply indifferent, worried causes of human suffering. I think he saw in them the indifference of man to himself, to his supreme destiny and therefore, indifference to everything around him. Czechs with pain notices that his contemporaries are afraid to live, not to exist. Life seems to be hostile to them, ready at any moment to deprive the most expensive and valuable, native. Therefore, people are closing, hiding, coming up with all sorts of himself "cases." And do not notice how they die, turn into living mummies. An illustrative example of this attitude towards life — the hero of the story "The Man in a Case" Belikov. This man taught at school. He must educate, share experience, to teach life. But he can pass, if "consists" of solid rules, morals, circulars? In this gray little man, entirely composed of the holders ("And the umbrella he had in the bag, and the clock in a case made of gray suede, and when pulled out a pocket knife to sharpen a pencil, and then he had a knife in cheholchika, and his face seemed , was also in the bag ") , does not remain living. He existed on inertia, finding an outlet in a "dead" (!) Languages that are taught.
