«««««
Religions, which condemn the pleasures of senses, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history, power has been the vice of the ascetic.

«««««
ABSTAINER, n. A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. A Total Abstainer is one who abstains from everything, but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

It is not only about the return of the light but the enduring of the night.

🪦#Tolstoy died today in 1910. His #politicalthought is still relevant & alive today. Here's my book on it: https://sites.google.com/site/christoyannopoulos/publications/tolstoys-political-thought-christian-anarcho-pacifist-iconoclasm #anarchism #pacifism #anticlericalism
Core chapters explore T’s #pacifism, #anarchism, #anticlericalism, #asceticism & #nonviolent #activism. Each time first systematising T (with plenty of poignant quotes), then discussing criticisms of his views, then reflecting on relevance since.
Hardback expensive, paperback and ebook cheaper, but also shorter chapter-length summary #free (#openaccess) & available here: https://www.stockholmuniversitypress.se/site/chapters/e/10.16993/bbb.c/

Routine, rigor and discipline are the drumbeat of my days, granting a rhythm to this strange and mercurial dance we call mortal life...
