Tolstoy's Last Diaries

Such a great man can be messy and unorganized and as regretful as I am..He also had unkind feelings and felt ashamed with himself.

Now I feel a little bit better.

I am amazed by how similar some of Tolstoy's thoughts are to mine. It's such a coincidence that I picked up his diary at this moment:

"Our life is quest for gratification. There is physical gratification in health, in satisfying the lusts of the body, in wealth, sexual love, fame , honor, power. All these gratifications 1) are outside our control, 2) may be taken away from us at any moment by death, and #) are not accessible to everyone. "
