Amen. I really wish to see people debate and discuss Tolstoy's attitude toward Anna's actions: rebellion or betrayal.
If they comprehend Anna's action from a humanistic and existential perspective or a moralistic lens of adultery.
In The Brothers Karamazov, the elder Zosima makes one of the most remarkable statements in all of literature:
"Each of us is guilty before everyone, for everyone and everything, and I more than the others."
Our lives are woven together far more closely than we imagine. Every conversation, every act of kindness, every moment of patience shapes another person's life, who in turn shapes someone else's.
Dostoevsky understood that families, friendships, and entire societies are built this way. They grow through countless ordinary encounters that seem insignificant in the moment but continue echoing long after we've forgotten them.
That's why even the smallest act of love carries extraordinary weight. You may never know whose burden became lighter because of your kindness, whose hope returned because of your encouragement, or whose life took a different course because, for a brief moment, someone chose to care.
Perhaps that is what Zosima wanted his readers to remember. Every life touches countless others, and every act of love leaves the world a little richer than it was before.

So, sometimes, I like to watch no commentary walking tours on YT of cities I want to visit.
This one in Mykonos, Greece is a fave.
It begins in an alley facing the ocean with one of the most breathtaking views. And that quiet moment alone before getting to the bazaar ๐ค๐พ
There was a wave of these youthful, cool, coming of age films that didn't take themselves too seriously in late 2000s. Our films were reflecting a young, promising India with a bright future. And then you know what happened..
My heart breaks for her.
All i know is most of the indian teachers are bullies themselves too and parents aise jinse kuch bol nhi skte. They could have saved her...
sbko bhagwan ka roop banna h yha insaan se jyada
On Nov 1, 2025, Amaira, a Class 4 student, died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur.
She had been bullied for 18 months, with classmates targeting her using "bad words," many of which carried sexual undertones. However, her class teacher repeatedly dismissed complaints from both Amaira and her parents, telling them instead that she needed to adjust to the other kids.
The parents have now released the school CCTV footage they obtained to the public. The footage reveals that even on the day of her death, Amaira approached the teacher multiple times for help but was ignored.
Hard to believe that teachers, even at such posh schools, are not trained to handle severe bullying or recognize a child in deep psychological distress. Totally preventable death.
