Cuando entré al teatro, un hombre estaba sentado en el sofá. Parecía muy aburrido y deprimido.
La narración de los tres hermanos que viven en el campo de Rusia indolentemente ha empezado del momento.

Los personajes viven en su vida sin cambios. No tenían mucha esperanza ni objetivos. Sólo viven como la vida continuaría.
Los hermanos soñarían con volver a Moscú donde habían crecido, pero no intentan conseguirlo. Se lamentan de su vida. Dice que se ha ahogado con su vida.

Me preguntó para qué vivimos. ¿Si parecía no hay nada de ilusión, cómo se puede vivir?

Yo he aprendido que no se tiene ilusión a no ser que la hago por su mismo. Necesita buscarla, encontrarla, y conseguirla.
Es muy fácil que esté ciego a la ilusión y quede negativo y pasivo con su vida como los hermanos. Entonces su vida cambiaría a la cárcel dondequiera vive.
Entiendo que no toda persona puede dejar a su vida diaria y aventurarse... pero, si no está contento con su vida actual, para qué mantiene la manera de la vida?

Siempre yo insisto en que ejecute cualquiera cosa posiblemente pueda hacer antes quejarse.
