In his book “Dr. Zhivago’’ Boris Pasternak spoke as to why the Russian people seemed to endure so much suffering, privation and ruination.

“We endure it’’, he wrote ‘’Because of our cursed capacity to endure’’. Besides having the ability to get blind drunk at the drop of a hat the Russians seem to have a positive talent for making things hard on themselves.

“Besides having the ability to get blind drunk at the drop of a hat the Russians seem to have a positive talent for making things hard on themselves.”

I am often guilty of the latter offense.

Good comment, by the way. (-:
