Summary

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy Astonishing Creatures

The most remarkable of all is that these creatures not only don’t wise up, use their reasoning not to understand what is stupid and bad, but on the contrary, to justify all their own stupidity and nastiness. And not only they do not want to see that these nonsense and nasty things are tormenting them, they don't let anyone among themselves indicate, that don’t need to do what they do, and that it’s possible and must do something entirely different and not to suffer as much.

With all of that, these creatures, to explain their meaning of life and its purpose, assure themselves and each other, that there is a creature alike them the but only possessing those properties that they would like to have, which therefore is able to do all sorts of follies and nasty things; and they come up with various, uttermost useless to anyone means of pleasing this imaginary creature, and in this pleasing they spend huge share the fruits of their labor, although these fruits are predominantly not enough to feed even themselves.

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy Astonishing Creatures

There are such creatures who all live off the land, but in order for them to become harder as possible to feed, they divided their land so that only those who are not working on it can use it, but those who work, they cannot use it and suffer and die generations after generations from the inability to feed off the land. Besides, these creatures elect one family or several families out of many and renounce their will and reason for the sake of slavish obedience to everything that the elect ones will want to do to them.
