The Gulag Archipelago, Volume I by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

5.0

I'll never pity myself or others anymore. There is no need to since our lot is always good compared to people in history. Gulags are terrible invention of empathy(sacrificing yourself for others IE demanding equality when inequality is freedom. Inequality let's us deserve what were worth in society, but communism = equality.) and I guess this is what happens when "we" becomes more important than "I". Also protecting property rights is also important, since we don't want thieves to take someone elses hard earned property.
