Akira The Don — Dostoevsky — lyrics
{Akira The Don}
There is only one way to salvation
And that is to make yourself responsible for all men sins
As soon as you make yourself responsible, in all sincerity for everything and for everyone
You will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone
And for all things
{Jordan}
Dostoevsky I think said something like
{Chorus}
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Evеry man is responsible for evеrything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
It’s a crazy statement, right?
It’s a crazy statement and he was a pretty extreme person in many, many ways
But there’s a level at which that’s metaphysically true
You know, because what happens is that it’s failure to act often that’s the most catastrophic
It’s to not do the right thing when the situation presents itself
It’s very specific
You know, you’re constantly in situations where you could do the right thing if you were willing to take a risk
That’s actually of relatively a moderate size
And you know that you can take the risk, and you know that you should take risks, and you don’t
{Chorus}
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
Every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to everyone else
And that happens to people all the time
And then what happens is the thing that they didn’t oppose grows a little bit
And they shrink a little bit
And that starts to loop, ey
And so, when you say, «Well, how do you take responsibility for the world?”
And the answer is, «Well, you also have to do it with a certain degree of humility, because what do you know?”
