    A lot of Russia’s culture, like most, comes from it’s long history. Russians, just like many others, enjoy having a good time; yet they are known as stoic people, who rarely smile.

Rankine might be pointing out that the person who is speaking (which is you) is advised by the “world” against doing anything about the suffering it brings to some, but because ‘the world” is trying to apply a deferent kind of utilitarian society that tells the people that if they take things to heart then you are not following the society’s universal rules. “The world” that Rankine
