Quote
St. Seraphim of Sarov:
You cannot be too gentle, too kind.
Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other.
Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of him who gives and kindles joy in the heart of him who receives.
All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other…
Instead of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace.
is he known amongst Serbians
Thy destroyers and they that make thee waste shall go forth of thee.  Isaiah 49:17

So maybe only Russians know him?

i'd say it's a Russian poet.  Serbs and Russians have the same religion, a historical bond and they support us, but we both have our own culture, music, poets, art etc.  the languages are both Slavic so there is deffinite similarities in that, altho they are still completely different.  a Serbian person can't understand or speak most Russian and vice versa.

i like the piece though, even though it's translated..  i'm sure it loses some effect in the translation because Russian language is very unique.  still good..
