Thank you my dearest friend @the_sick_rose_ for this meaningful tag #impactfulbooks ✨ I want to talk about "How Much Land Does a Man Need?", a short story by Leo Tolstoy, published in 1886. It's a story I read when I was in primary school and it had a huge impact on my way of thinking about life. It's a story about greed, about the fact that material possessions can't bring happiness, the absurdity of human life and that the only truth is death. It's also a story that made even more clear to me what are the real treasures in our short life on this planet : love, kindness, empathy, compassion,respect, generosity towards ourselves and all other living creatures. ✨ I am an agnosticist but this story reminded me of this quote: "After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.” – 1 Timothy 6:7 I am tagging a few friends if you would like to share a book that left an impact on your soul🌌 Feel no pressure to do this 🦔✨ 🏷️ #bookstagram #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookstagramchallenge #bookaesthetic #booklove #bookphotography #bookobsessed #booksofinstagram #bookobsessed #bookish #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #livrestagram #lecture #leotolstoy #shortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcf39qAvtO/?igshid=1koutdcj6qy2t
