Anton Chekhov

But what can one say about some modern psychotherapies that try to "sanitize" us from any kind of guilt, lest our self, which we must take care of above all else, suffers... I believe that today's reduced empathy in society has been greatly reinforced by these psychological prompts you find everywhere!

Chekhov died in 1904, at the age of 44, leaving behind a universe of such delicate great Art.
