Quote by Leo Tolstoy

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

The problem is what man wants to achieve, what is his ideal. If he wants wealth, honors, glory, pleasures, he will have a certain life. If he wants love from all people, he will have a completely different life. It's all about the ideal. If he wants riches, honors, glory, pleasures, man will think how to take more from others to have for himself, how to spend and give less to others. If he wants honors, he will be approving, flattering, submissive to those in power, he will be haughty, he will limit himself to people, he will despise those he does not need to be successful. If he wants glory, he will sacrifice everything, including the lives of others and his own, for the sake of success. If he wants pleasure, he will invent means of increasing pleasures, transforming them and bringing forth even more powerful ones. But if man wants love towards all people, he will remember when he is alone with himself how in his past life, yesterday, today, he did not respect the love of people, how he did, said, thought something bad, unloving, he will think what prevented him from doing it, what faults, temptations, habits, and he will think how to get rid of them.

Problema e ce vrea omul să realizeze, care e idealul lui. Dacă vrea bogăție, onoruri, glorie, plăceri, va avea o anume viață. Dacă vrea iubire față de toți oamenii, va avea cu totul altă viață. Totul ține de ideal. Dacă vrea bogății, onoruri, glorie, plăceri, omul va chibzui cum să ia mai mult de la alții ca să aibă pentru sine, cum să cheltuiască și să dea altora mai puțin. Dacă vrea onoruri, va fi aprobator, lingușitor, supus celor la putere, va fi trufaș, se va delimita de oameni, îi va dispretui pe cei de care n-are nevoie pentru a avea succes. Dacă vrea glorie, va sacrifica totul, inclusiv viața altora și a sa, de dragul succesului. Dacă vrea plăcere, va născoci mijloace de sporire a plăcerilor, transformându-le și scornind altele și mai putemice. Dacă însă omul dorește iubirea față de toți oamenii, își va aminti atunci când e singur cu sine cum în viața trecută, ieri, azi, n-a respectat iubirea de oameni, cum a facut, spus, gandit ceva rău, neiubitor, se va gândi ce l-a împiedicat s-o facă, ce defecte, ispite, deprinderi și va chibzui cum să scape de ele.
