Because that fire rain, for anger is compassion.

... who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
(Compassion for animals is so intimately associated with goodness of character, that it is possible to assert with confidence that can't be good he who is cruel to animals.)

After all, man does not develop with age, though burst. Character is formed by age twenty-five, and then, no matter how beysya, I can't change myself. Next is to see how the world fits your character. Perhaps thanks to the whiskey, but I was sorry for Rudin. Heroes of Dostoyevsky, I never sympathize. But Turgenev's characters - easily. As, however, and characters from the "Police station-87". Perhaps it's because I have too many weaknesses. The more human weaknesses, the more likely he sympathizes with the weaknesses of their neighbors. The weakness of the characters of Dostoevsky and weaknesses often aren't, so to sympathize with them on all cylinders fails. As for the heroes of Tolstoy, their weaknesses and strive to turn into something global, static, forever... What kind of compassion.
