"I no longer had any doubts and was firmly convinced that the teachings of the faith with which I had associated myself were not all true. At one time I would have said that all of it was a lie; but now it was impossible to say this. There could be no doubt that all of the people had a knowledge of the truth, for othewise they would not be living. Moreover, this knowledge of the truth was already accessible to me; already I was living by it and could feel that this was indeed the truth; but in these teachings there was also a lie. There was no doubt about it. And everything that had previously repelled me was now vividly before me."
I wish I had this 10 years ago. This is a very insightful line of reasoning and questions about life.

most certainly a good essay and something that I wish was more widespread among bookshelves. what Tolstoy grapples with is certainly relatable and I imagine that most people struggle with the end of life. however, I am not altogether convinced by Tolstoy's final leap, that of believing in God because he is afraid. that is no good reason to back up your faith, and so my own search for meaning and peace trucks onward.
Bilo je oke i onda je Tolstoj pronašao religiju and it went downhill from there
