We are too deep in hell.

According to Leo Tolstoy we are unable to live what conscience demands. Since his day, the situation has clearly worsened.

"One is not living as conscience demands, yet lacks the strength to reshape one's life in accord with its demands", 

he said (wrote), and continued:

"The diversions which might distract attention from this  aforementioned consciousness of the discord are insufficient, or have become stale, and so in order to be able to live on, disregarding the indications conscience gives of the wrongness of their life by poisoning it temporarily stop the activity of the organ their own brains. Through which conscience manifests itself, as a man by covering his eyes hides from himself what he does not wish to see."

Leo Tolstoy’s spiritual awakening and enlightenment culminated in 1879, marking the resolution of a profound existential crisis that gripped him during the late 1870s.

Before that Tolstoy experienced a severe psychological breakdown fueled by a debilitating fear of death and a feeling that his life was meaningless.

One of central themes in  Tolstoyanism was the idea of ​​sobriety. The concept of complete abstinence from intoxicants.

Not a single word has become outdated - quite the contrary. The world is descending ever deeper into an addiction hell.

No spiritual path is possible as long as a person poisons themselves with toxic substances.

"Because alcohol is so widely used there are hundreds of thousands of people who crave alcohol every day."
