I can relate. Fussing with business holds no interest . The madness of the pointlessness of life. After all, it simply ends in death. Why not end it now and be free of my torment? Then the realization that the beggar is my equal. My mad torment abates when i give them my money. I am happiest when i am talking with them. I am elated when together we find them good and meaningful jobs. It's when i understand the Holy Grail cups God's Love. Salvation is found when we give it away, consciously , with the teachings how to survive comfortably. And the means, the startup money and the time by which they can help others and be free of dependence on me. Because they need to pass it on to find their Salvation. Love is my Religion. Love is my God. Love is our Eternal Life. Love is Now.

Thank you for all the stories from the Russian authors you put on your channel. They've been an eye opener to me. Never realised the wealth of amazing literature l've missed for years.

Very important to know of Russia’s rich history and people so that we don’t let the diabolical West destroy it.

@@Baczkowa78You’re a clown. What’s diabolical is Russia indiscriminately murdering civilians by the tens of thousands in the present and tens of millions in the past.

What really emphasizes his whole point existential crisis, is that no matter how influentual a person like him can be, in the end it does not matter at all. They will lose consciousness and it will.mean mothing to them and eberyone it affevts will oneday lose it as well. No matter how much his works might affect me and my life it wont matter neither to him nor me. But hell when god gives you life, you live it and try not to ask why too often

Why is the narrator not credited at the end? Very abrupt ending.
@lucindamcguinn69110 ай бұрын
He was talking about walking home and it ended with, "and all the way I talked with the peasants." But his voice sounded like there was more to the sentence and he got cut off.

I just checked on wikipedia , and it says this tale is an unfinished work by Tolstoy, therefore the abrupt ending…
