Leo Tolstoy

This man is not a beggar or homeless wanderer 

This is Leo Tolstoy  a Russian novelist and philosopher, best known for his novels "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina". He is considered one of the greatest authors of all time and a key figure in the realist movement in literature. 

He sold all he has for homelessness to have home and beggers to have food. 

Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828, in Russia and died on November 20, 1910. His writing often explored themes of morality, ethics, and the human condition, and his works are still widely read and studied today.

Some of his notable quotes include:
“Don’t tell me about your religion, let me see your religion in your actions”

“If you feel pain. You are alive. But, if you feel the pain of others, you’re human”

Tolstoy's legacy extends beyond literature, too. He was also a philosopher and social reformer, and his ideas about nonviolent resistance and simple living have inspired leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Pathological Procrastinating’ may be a more befitting name, or perhaps ‘Pathologically Free-Spirited’, or even ‘Pathological Curiosity’. After all, it is of utmost importance to know ‘why’. ‘Don’t play with fire!’ may seem like a reasonable injunction. If someone were to give me such an order as a child, I’d ask ‘Why?’ And if they gave me a valid and informative answer then that might’ve worked as a deterrent. But if they were to say, ‘Because I said so,’ then it would reinforce my curiosity and there’d be a chance I’d be rushed to A&E a few minutes afterwards.
