"There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind"

This quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky speaks to the idea that everybody has tricks and ideas that they are afraid to admit to themselves. It suggests that even the most decent of people have things that they repent of or scared to confront. This might be anything from a worry of failure, a mistake they have made, or a secret they have kept. It is a tip that everybody has their own struggles and that it is essential to be kind and understanding to others, even if we do not understand what they are going through. It is also a tip to be kind to ourselves and to not be too tough on ourselves when we make mistakes or have secrets that we are afraid to face. Everyone has their own struggles and it is very important to be comprehending and caring to ourselves and to others.
