Character: Andrey Onisimovich Nakhodka

Is there anywhere on earth an unoffended soul? I was offended so much that I was already tired of being offended. What can you do if people cannot do otherwise? Resentments interfere with getting things done; dwelling on them is a waste of time. Such a life! I used to get angry with people, but I thought, I see - it’s not worth it. Everyone is afraid that a neighbor might hit him, and he tries to punch him in the ear as quickly as possible. Such is my life, dear!
