Leo Tolstoy. Sunday (№ 241401)

He remembered the indifference Maslennikova, when he told him about what was happening in the prison, the rigor of the overseer, the cruelty of the convoy officer when he was not allowed on the carts and didn't pay attention to the fact that the train suffers childbirth woman. "All these people, obviously, was invincible, impermeable to the simplest feelings of compassion only because they served. They, like servants, were impermeable to the feelings of humanity, as this paved ground for rain, thought Nekhludoff, looking at paved in multicolor stones, the slope of the recess on which the rain water is not absorbed into the ground, and oozing streams. - Maybe you need to put the stones cut, but sad to see this devoid of vegetation land, which could have bread, grass, bushes, trees, as those are at the top of the recess. It's the same with people, "he thought," can be, and we need these governors, caretakers, policemen, but I hate to see people deprived of their main human qualities - love and mercy to each other.
