So i read Tolstoy in my formative teenage years and now finding this particular piece totally grabbed my attention and removed me from the attention grabbing internet for two days. It is that powerful, no wonder it is regarded one of his best works, I strongly recommend to whomever the algorithm finds to read and reflect on memento mori, also he pretty much described the calculating checkboxes of our era when both life and living in death and dying in life has a price tag.
