You quoted Plato's dialogue 'Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους' (apology of Skorates (well, its genetivus so lets say "Apology of Skoratus' :d)). So it rather Plato said. Second problem is the quote has in fact certain meaning which contains orphic beliefs. You can translate it to "to live means thinking which is nothing else but examining things".

Yes I agree. But, as ive replied to other comments, ppl yearn for this type of reality then want to make assumptions and stereotypes all over it. Many comments include ppl making assumptions off a few min video that this man has shakes due to alcohol. I find it so sad. Ppl see someone poor and assume these things. They see an old man living roughly in europe as and assume hes an alcoholic. The same thing in india the assumption is to feel bad because he had no opportunity. In the west, the assumption is he did it to himself and deserves it. Its all really sad. When I see this man in this video, even though I'm not Belarusian, I feel proud and envy in a positive way. Because, hes lived the obvious war riddled life he has and despite his ailments does more walking, chopping wood, etc than most westerners do in a day. I'm proud of him and envy his spirit along with so many we encounter in Balds videos. Its amazing and a privilege he brings these encounters and parts of the world to us.

There was a man I know who also died alone, HE LIVED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY, He rents a place and has a shop but he had nobody, no relatives none at all! When his shop was closed nobody ask why, nobody wondered, It was only when they smelled a rotten flesh nearby and theorized that it might be by his place and when the cops arrive, it was him.. died of heart attack.

Brian Bommarito I see what you mean as in maybe when younger he was possibly a force to be reckoned with but sadly he’s just an old wino now, probably no family left. I imagine when he goes, unless a little shop tootles out to supply him with vodka and cigarettes, he will have decomposed before anyone finds him.

No one is going to be trying to talk to him much. I doubt he has a flat in a city or any relatives living in a city to live with. With the way things are, it's likely that he might die in his shabby, rundown, house not a mile away from a graveyard full of friends and relatives, and no one will know. Unless he has developed a strong friendship with the townsfolk or the people who come there every two weeks to give them some food and money, I doubt anyone will come to his house to check on him. Very possible that he will simply rot in his own house.

Those people experienced the greatest loss of their life, their relatives. Those graves mean really much to them, because they are last link to the memories of people who were very important to them. They taught them how to live, something much more important than some "possessions". Mind that there was unimaginable amount of knowledge passed on from generation to generation only by oral means, oral and direct instructions - no books. As some example - You could go on into field with my grandmother and pick any plant - flower, plant, grass - and she could tell You name, what time of year it flowers, how it reproduces, what insects feed on it, what animals feed on it, is it edible, what dieseases it can cure or what poison you can make out of it, what myths are related to it and if it is native - all of that knowledge was passed orally to her by her grandparents and complemented by her husband who was also a gardener. My mother managed to absorb maybe 10% of the knowledge, i could not get even 5% even with help of modern books, we just had not enough time together before she died. And this was just small part of knowledge about life, some example wchich can visualise that illiterate people had means to pass culture and knowledge and why people value their elders and why they are so attached to their graves.

So many people can say they've seen the Eiffel Tower but very few have met people like Kolya and very few ever will, thanks for sharing this with all of us Bald.

As sorry as we all feel bad for him, hes the type that would prob say dont. I lived an honest life, work to survive, have a pension food and shelter and air in my lungs and can still walk and tinkle on my own without help. Therefore, life is GOOD. I dont feel pity for the man, I feel envy in a positive way. Because, hes lives thru what he has, is still standing and independent and isnt jaded still inviting strangers into his home and proud to show the little he has. Most ppl couldnt handle that in such a positive manner. Some would say well it isnt a choice....But...it def is. I'm proud of this man and envy his spirit and wish him the best. Bless him.

@@mykolakanyuk To be honest, that is equally as poetic and meaningfull to me. Perhaps the struggle of Kolya is to try and become human again after all he has been through. Perhaps even if one becomes "human" again, it isn't always easy. With being a human comes having feelings, and feelings as many know can be severely difficult to deal with, especially in the state that Kolya is in. It's quite subjective how one interprets something like this, but for me it is deep and meaningfull. It'd much more than a KZbin comment for me to fully express the thoughts I have about these two quotes.

I don't know that he is unhappy. His life has meaning to him. He sees himself as part of a greater story and a greater community. That community for him extends beyond this life, hence his care for the graveyard. He has things to live for. I would even say good, worthwhile things, better than many much wealthier people here in the city of Toronto. As Victor Frankl pointed out in his book on how he survived the holocaust and the war often it wasn't the young, the strong, and the healthy who survived the camps. Factoring out things like luck, it was those who had a profound reason to live. Kolya has many reasons to live and his knowledge of them has been illuminated by his faith and honed by the hardship he endures.
