grey hair

This is a tragedy.

Just like in fairy tales, no one dares to think about the life after the princess and the prince are together.
It's already something we can't dream of living together forever and ever.
But the gray hair tips are still painfully entangled. There can be quarrels and disappointments.
Because as long as there is love, there is no desire for it, and this is the source of entanglement.

Tolstoy's last stop was poignant.
He is the poster child for excessive introspection.
Because to be a great man, or others want him to be a great man, he is far from the basic happiness of being a human being.

"To love and to be loved is the only truth of life."
He himself and his disciples had forgotten this sentence.
