What a fascinating passage from War and Peace. Honestly, I find it so reassuring when I read something like that or learn some historical tidbit that reminds me that so-called modern problems have been around a long time. But you're right -- modern tech is much newer and much scarier. We're not in the same position anymore.
Thanks so much, Rose. I agree--I also love these reminders from the past, as they also make me feel connected to people over spans of time. It's nice to have something in common with those who are no longer with us!
