I enjoyed reading this, Christine. I also question my fruitfulness when I'm alone, and it's encouraging to remember the lives of others and the thoughts they wrestled with.
Thanks for reading, Sharon. If I remember the timing correctly, Tolstoy was thinking of life purpose and fruitfulness before his conversion experience. Very much a part of human nature.

Wonderful insights, and I particularly appreciate your comments on Tolstoy. He was an interesting man.
Very interesting! His views change widely over the course of his life. I imagine you can trace all of them through his fiction.
