The Man in a Case
Talk about uptight. Repressed.
Byelikov is afraid. Like a turtle who senses danger and hides in the shell -- Byelikov -- oh, let's put it bluntly -- he's anal.
Rules and order protect him from the ferocity of life -- he won't take any risks -- and any deviation from the established ways gets him all panicked.
He is the living dead -- a zombie -- who hides from living -- and no matter how much good fortune comes his way -- he will always find an excuse to shy away from it.
And consequently -- all the joys -- all the passion -- all the new -- all the arts -- all the progress -- all the freedom -- is a threat.
Every age has Byelikovs. Forces who can't handle the intensity of life and do their best to contain it.
In fact, we all have a Byelikov inside of us.
And it is up to us to decide what to do with him. .
