Love and abstinence?

Reid 2022-03-20 09:02:30

What is love, does the old man really understand it? He distributes his property "selflessly" to people he doesn't know, but he doesn't care about the demands of the person he should love most.

Advocating asceticism is actually a kind of repentance for one's debauched life when he was young, to a certain extent, right? So he is still very kind. I think what his wife Sophia loves is the kindness in her eyes, as well as the details and tastes of his past life, the so-called juvenile couples and old companions. The wife sacrificed a lot to this family. Because of her love for him, she gave birth to more than ten children for him, and she also suffered the pain of losing half of her children. He worked hard to manage the family business inside and out, and contributed wisdom and youth to this family.

In fact, he lives very subjectively, egoistically and simply, and has always lived in the world he built for him and his artworks. He doesn't know what love is, but he proposes to everyone that you want to love, just like he doesn't know why you want abstinence, but inexplicably preaches abstinence. He was a child who could not grow up all his life.

    It turns out that Tolstoy still has such a wife... It's not easy for me to sit and watch this by myself.
