The Russian people..most all are deeply faithful to God..... my Gramma for as long as i can recall if I were out of the house upon coming home. ...would call me to her side... she would place her thumb and first finger to her lips.... call me to come near and make the sign of the cross on my forehead.... I never asked why...I just accepted this is Gramma. When i think back I give thanks as she was blessing me as i came back home from the outside world. How beautiful a gift she gave me... ❤❤❤
Thank you for your comment it awoke a forgotten blessing my beautiful kind Grandmother would give when I would come home safe. I’m Irish and was born into conflict in the North of our land Ireland. This blessing made me understand I must never hate my enemy, yes men die in conflict. But to hate your enemy is more sinful and destroying to yourself than your enemies. Best wishes Ireland.
This really is the spooky work of The Spirit ; this story couldn't have found its way to me at a more proper moment. I'm seventy seven and just begining to see how very different The World is from The Universe. And I needed to be shown how the two related to each other. But for that you need stories about running a farm in a small community and I'm a modern Western man. Russia is in such a good position to provide the necessary Education. God bless Russia and the memories of all her suffering. And God bless those rulers who can find principles more important than their own pride to show them a way forward. The stuff I usually amuse myself with is all about vampires, but this story really shows what it is that real vampirism has to do with real life. Amazing Love !
A story of truth. We would do well to take the elders advice,one family at a time. This is God's plan but we are so stubborn and won't listen. May God's will be done.
And now if you are older by even a few years, the culturally acceptable response is "OK Boomer". Even in my most rebellious days, I knew that maybe my grandparents or other elders knew things I didn't. Now that rejection of wisdom is celebrated.
Only the grandfather was wise. Every other adult was part of the problem, so who do you listen to? The lesson is to think, consider your faults or you will neverendingly blame others until everything is ruined for them and yourself
I couldn't agree more. For ALL generations. Many commentators understood this story in a way: younger should always learn wisdom from their elders. However...it is painful to see..in the world around us...that in so many groups..it is EXACTLY the ELDERS who lead their youngest toward arrogance, cold-heartedness and selfishness. So sad...
If this is not a propper parabel for our situation nowadays I do not know what is!!!?? Let us all hope, Ivan will listen to the voice of his forfather once again and we all should gather to pray for that devine goal, for the sake of all of us...
I keep forgiving my ex wife but she does ever increasing disrespectful things to me. Some people see forgiveness as a weakness and take advantage of it. It's hard
At times ...one needs to pull boundaries. And, yes ..people like your ex always see any forgivance, tolerance and kindness as weakness..and (ab)use that
@@oceanaoushn8803Your advice is correct but I fear the one you answer must travel a longer road before he takes your advice. But you are kind to answer this man. Best wishes Ireland 🇮🇪32.
@markpapa.3711, I hope you take comfort in the Lord and are able to set up healthy boundaries each time they get pushed. While she gives you more opportunities to truly live in the spirit of forgiveness and love, she is unfortunately damaging her own soul if she is intentionally turning her back on God. May she have God's mercy, and may God's mercy shine on you, perhaps even through you, that she may rebuke evil ways. May God bless and comfort you always.
These short stories are all so good! They would be even better to listen to if the music dubbed at the beginning and the end of each one were to be eliminated. The stories stand alone and do not need music.
It is important that people do not intrude on the domain of others. Accusations of crimes not witnessed needs to return to being a corporally punished crime.

Such an injustice to the stories and their messages. I cannot bide the Ai voice and seldom listen to these. They are presented absent if the spirit which was present in their writing. Ai usage ribs people of the benefit of being able to work, to read and to share. The monotonous voices are like an empty vessel being struck mindlessly. It makes me feel sick to listen to like food with no salt, apples with no juice and men with no hearts. Who do we think we are desecrating the work of fine and noble writers?
I guess since the genie is out of the bottle it's all over. We can only hope I guess that AI becomes more intelligent and can pronounce Ivan the way it's supposed to be pronounced each and every time. utterly annoying. Tolstoy would've hated it. As would any artist. 😮
Even though this comes from Russian Orthodox with some unbiblical doctrines, they still mention Christ and salvation. I think at this time the Orthodox church taught them. If only they had read the Bible and studied it. Either way there's much profit from these lessons. The churches today have gone Apostate because they disobey Gods command to study to be approved of God. This was all Prophecied. Jesus said the Narrow Path that leads to Eternal Life is found by few. I still chew up the meat and spit out the bones. I enjoy these stories despite the truth of Biblical Ignorance and Religion that has killed millions, i despise Religion and preach the Gospel as I am a Follower of Christ and not affiliated with any organized religions. We meet in Homes and live like the book of Acts church. Christ will return for nothing less

What a beautiful story of love after all. ♥️✝️🇺🇸🙏
The only way to forgive is through forgiveness. The only truth that I know, is the one that I witness.
A perfect analogy of what is occurring in our world today. Mans inhumanity to his fellow man. More of a prediction than a fable.
Each generation goes lower into the worst of humanity’s ways.
@@patkearney9320 The plain truth but is very sad.
It’s just natural that’s why they call it human NATURE.

The narrator alternates among three different pronunciations of Ivan.
Yes, it’s an AI voice. As much as I appreciate being able to listen to these stories, it hurts me that it’s read by AI.
It’s FREE.
@@mrsmacca126 Still hurts the art. Free is also very different to “done well.”

It remind me the conflict between Jews and Palestines
If this story was changed, and one of the neighbors acquired their property by stealing it from the other, it would accurately reflect the issue.
How badly they treat women and think it is no crime. Shocking nonsense!
A well read naive Christian fairy tale.
Would watching your friends burn cop cars and vandalize a post office make the point any more poignant for you?
