Blue Hour with Stas Liutin

Love beyond Desire

In The Brothers Karamazov, love is often confused with desire, attachment, and the need to be chosen. What we call love can easily become pride: wanting someone to confirm our worth, return our feelings, or fill what feels absent within us. But Dostoevsky points toward something larger — a form of love that is not dependent on possession, certainty, or being answered. This episode explores the difference between desire and love through characters whose longing is repeatedly entangled with ego, suffering, and wounded pride. It asks whether love becomes visible only when we stop narrowing it to one person and begin recognising it as a way of relating to life itself. Because perhaps love enters our lives most fully not when we chase it, but when we become capable of it: when attention deepens, pride softens, and the world is no longer approached only through what it can give back.

Faith in Suffering and beyond Doubt

We all have our moments of doubt. It could be an unpleasant interaction on the street, a cancelled train, a misunderstanding with a close friend… Sometimes it goes deeper than that – the illness that keeps us stuck in the same spot, or the recurring pattern that keeps coming back. In moments like these, it all becomes about handling the emotion. Fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, desperation; we get so caught up in our feelings, and in this moment, it feels like we’re all alone in this experience, and it shall be like this forever. It is very natural for us to live out of survival, and along the way, we drift further and further away from the true reason we came here. When one has to endure any kind of suffering, it becomes extremely hard to see the broader picture. We begin to look for an explanation, for begin to compare ourselves to others, and we begin to doubt more and more with each new day. But what if instead of looking for a justification, we accepted the things for what they are? To be alive is to suffer, but not everything is suffering.

The truth we can never know (or can we?)

Most days we operate on autopilot. Morning routine, work, study, eat, rest, sleep. The same sequence repeats until weeks blur together. We live suspended in anticipation of the next vacation to finally escape from normality. We imagine that when the long-desired break finally comes, everything will fall into place. And when life throws another of its tests at you, suddenly it feels as if everything you held as truth was nothing more than a way to cope with the overwhelming complexity of reality.

The fear of good things

There comes a point in everyone's life when things finally begin to align – opportunities open one after another, often without you doing anything, and life feels surreal. And strangely, it is often in these effortless stretches our fear begins to grow the fastest. Good things expose our most fragile sides, reminding us how much there is to lose. The closer someone comes to what they always wanted, the more one comes to terms with the fleeting nature of all things.
