Tolstoy did not like serfdom at all!!!! it was really slavery! he was also a vegetarian, very religious, and was good to people. he left everything to his daughter, Sasha, his youngest. She sold the Tolstoy estate and gave it to the serfs on their land. 🌷🌱
Great story!
This reminds me of an event that occurred around the 60's in America. A town was tormented by a bully for many years. Some people who mustered the courage to take the bully to the authorities and testify in court wound up threatened by him or injured. One day the town killed the bully in broad daylight in front of many witnesses and no one in the town stepped forth to tell what happened. It became a mystery as to what happened to the bully. Listening to Tolstoy's story, I feel very sad because the tormented townspeople took matters into their hands and they prevented God to do justice on their tormentor. It is understandable they had reached a breaking point. However the story says, "The seeds of still greater wickedness have been planted in you..." I wonder what became of the poor townspeople. 😕
