Leo Tolstoy. Sunday (№ 241770)

The thing is, "he thought," that these people recognize the law that the law is not, and does not recognize the law that is eternal, unchanging, emergency law, by God written in the hearts of the people. This I is so hard with these people, thought Nekhludoff. - I'm just afraid of them. And really, these people are terrible. Scarier than the robbers. The robber may still regret - the same can't regret: they are insured against pity as these stones from the vegetation. Is this something they're terrible. Say, terrible, Pugachev, Razin. These are a thousand times worse, he continued to think. - If you set a psychological problem: how to make the people of our time, Christian, humane, simple, kind people, committed the most terrible evil deeds without feeling guilty, only one decision is possible: it is necessary to have the very thing that is, it is necessary that these people were governors, overseers, officers, police, that is to, first, were convinced that there is such a thing called public service, in which you can treat people as things, without human fraternal relation to them, and secondly, that the people of this state service was connected so that the responsibility for the consequences of their actions people didn't fall on anyone separately. Out of these conditions there is no possibility in our time of committing such horrible deeds as those which I saw today.
