A Confession

Exploring profound existential questions, the essay delves into Leo Tolstoy's quest for meaning in life and the essence of existence. As he examines perspectives from science, philosophy, and literature, he ultimately finds no satisfactory answers. Instead, Tolstoy discovers that the deep religious beliefs of ordinary people hold the key to understanding life's purpose. This introspective work reflects his spiritual journey and highlights the contrast between intellectual pursuits and genuine faith.
