The form outstrips content; just some banal remarks on Tolstoy. Without an insight into his spirituality (not just his religious views) you can`t understand his project of existence.

Thanks for the imbecile...

@petrustella

It was a lecture not a performance you imbecile. Also your comment about being disappointed is as sophisticated as a child's snide remark. The lecture gave evidence for a particular psychological state of tolstoy, and gave vivid examples. At the very least if you want to show that the content was insufficient at achieving this youtube title how about giving some rationale and examples to demonstrate why. We have enough childish remarks on youtube already.

Weak performance...

[petrustella]

The content is disappointing in relation to the title...

yes... yes.........say yes to pacifism. Magic of the green stick, the peace of a grassed grave,........ all did really hit my mind.
