Dostoevsky's quote is a tough one. It’s saying that being a decent person in today's world means you’re a bit of a coward and a slave. And you know what? Maybe that's true sometimes. We often play it safe to fit in or avoid conflict. It's kinda like when you don’t speak up in a meeting because you’re worried about what others will think. Or when you keep scrolling past something that bugs you online because you don’t want to start a fight. But maybe that's just part of being human. We all want to be liked and avoid trouble. Here's a tip: next time you feel like staying quiet, try saying your piece, even if it's just a tiny comment. It might feel scary, but you'll start breaking out of those chains little by little. Give it a shot.
