Selfish love is enough

Tolstoy wanted to get out of his inner predicament, get out of the embarrassment that his heart was scorched when his actions and thoughts were contrary to his thoughts, left his wife, and completed his so-called great exodus. He is a man who avoids responsibility. His eagerness to get out of trouble has been exploited by his flatterers. For me, I cannot tolerate any reason to prevent two people who have been in love for forty-eight years from seeing each other. Everyone understands that love is selfish. It was because Tolstoy realized that he had to get out of selfishness, but he couldn't let go of his love for Sophia right away, which filled their later years with gunpowder. I believe that no one knows Tolstoy better than Sophia, and no one loves Tolstoy more than she does. Although the inheritance of property is controversial, it is a woman's defense of her family's rights. Although it is extremely great to give the publishing rights to the people, no one can deny this selfless act, but first of all, this kind of act cannot be cleverly arranged by others! Self-presentation and deliberate shaping are of two natures!

Sophia is defending the legitimate rights of benefit belonging to her family, and she has no need to condemn herself. Although she did not win it, and because of this, she lost Tolstoy's care for her in his later years, making Tolstoy reluctant to approach her for the so-called tranquility, but I don't think Sophia needs to apologize to anyone. Maybe she didn't want to try to get close to her husband's ideological height, and in the process of hard work, her own realm must have improved a lot, then she should be the most wanted and the easiest to understand that Tolstoy gave up when he had everything. The desire to fulfill the long-cherished wish of equality in all this. But she can't. Maybe she said sorry to herself, she was born as a human being, not a god, or to love selfishly, sorry. I think it is brave for such a sensible man to live beside a great man whose self-reflection is a little too much!

In the story, no matter what, they are still deeply in love. And Sophia is not afraid of not being understood, she just wants to pay in her own way! In the play, the playful scenes of Sophia and Tolstoy made me feel that they were meant to be together. Because falling in love may be something that two imperfect people do, and once a person gradually becomes perfect, this person is destined to become narcissistic or become a popular idol. At this time, Sophia was just because she still missed her youth when she was Tolstoy's little chicken and did not believe that her husband had or was close to getting out of his spiritual predicament and lived as a great man, so Sophia's married life in her later years was born. lost. However, what woman doesn't miss the time when she was little chicken with her husband? Of course, none of us are Sophia, nor do we know how fiery and brave her love is!
