Finaly finished this and completed all of Dosto's mayor works. One of the biggest things I got out of his philopshy, is the idea that in order to achieve true happines, one must follow Jesus' teachings and love everything/everybody, and that you must endure the suffering that comes with that and get happiness out of it too. I've applied this to my life a few times, and when I truly get myself into a state of "loving all creation" I really do feel an overwhelming happiness. The only think I don't really understand, is why is it that you feel this happiness trough love. Maybe it's a stupid question, but I want to know what /lit/ thinks of this.

because his love is unconditional and it is derived through pain and suffering

I mean, I guess he has the best in mind, and I'm reading OP's book right now, but I just can't bring myself to go along with Dosto, being an agnostic, yet recognising that if God exists it is most likely not the Christian one.

OP here, im agnostic as well, but Dostoevsky has made me see that the Chrisitian teachings at their very basic, are universal and that absolute love and goodness are true ways to achieve happiness.

Whats a good entry to Dostoevsky? Prefeably not a boring story about a depressed lonely guy, I got enough of that in the Sorrows of Young Werther.

I started with notes from the underground which by itself is fantastic and short so that you can see if you like his writting. But since Notes is exactly about a depressed lonley guy I would recomend The double. But all he wrote is in someways depressing so maybe hold off for now?
