Tolstoy portrays human existence as a conflict between the inner and the outer, the spiritual life and the physical life in both the artificial and authentic life.Hence the duty of each person is to identify the twofold of the self and to live such that the less important physical life matches to most important spiritual life (Tolstoy, 2010).Also, there’s no genuine personal involvement because compassion and love must go both ways; both must benefit from the relationship (Tolstoy, 2010).However, accepting death and the i...
