Quote by Leo Tolstoy

Summary

This quote suggests that true changes in our lives should stem from an internal conflict between our conscience and our current circumstances, and not just from a mere desire to experiment with a different lifestyle. It emphasizes the significance of aligning our actions with our sense of right and wrong, rather than seeking change solely for the sake of novelty. Consequently, the quote encourages personal growth driven by a genuine need for moral and ethical transformation rather than superficial or temporary shifts in behavior.
