How much is enough for you?
Tolstoy’s "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" is a story that brilliantly captures the essence of human greed in just a few pages. The main character, believes that if he only had more land, he would finally be happy. But as he keeps acquiring more land, his hunger for it grows, leading him to a shocking and unforgettable conclusion.

Tolstoy’s storytelling is powerful in its simplicity. He weaves a tale that is both engaging and thought-provoking, making us question the true cost of our desires. The ending is especially striking... it’s a vivid reminder that in our relentless pursuit of more, we often lose sight of what really matters.
This story left me reflecting on my own life and the constant pursuit of "more" that we all seem to get caught up in. It makes you wonder: How much is enough? Have you ever found yourself in a similar race, only to realize that the finish line wasn’t what you expected?
