What reading level is What Tolstoy Taught book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such love alone solves the apparent contradiction of the animal to the reasonable existence.
Any love that has not for its foundation the renunciation of individuality, that does not include, as a consequence, affection for every one, is merely the life of the animal, and is subject to the same misery and to ever greater miseries, and to still greater folly, than is life without this fictitious love.
When we know only our animal life, and love only our personal self, desiring nothing but what s...eems for our good, we suffer pain and disappoint- ment so far as we personally fail to get what we want. And when what we call our love Includes others, our chances of pain and misery are many times increased by every one we love. If we feel that we must give them what they want, we suffer when we fail In getting it, both for their disap- pointment and for our own. Thus, parents who think that for their children's sake they must even rob other children if necessary, not only suffer worry and anxiety in their effort to secure this ma- terial good, but, after getting it, when they find it does not give the happiness they had hoped for, they endure not only disappointment and resent- ment, but also the pangs that a reasoning being io6 WHAT TOLSTOY TAUGHT must suffer who knows he has been unjust and cruel in vain.
