He was a master of understanding the human condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist known<\/a> for epic works such as War and Peace<\/em> and Anna Karenina<\/em><\/a>. His life experiences, from witnessing war to spiritual quests, profoundly influenced his writings and gave him profound insights into the human soul<\/a>. His understanding of emotions, motivations and moral dilemmas has made his work stand the test of time, and it still resonates with people today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Julian de Medeiros<\/a>, a TikTok creator who shares his thoughts on philosophy, shared how Tolstoy knew if someone was highly intelligent<\/a>, and his observation says something extraordinary about humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe more intelligent a person is, the more he discovers kindness in others<\/a>,\u201d Tolstoy is widely credited as having written. \u201cFor nothing enriches the world more than kindness<\/a>. It makes mysterious things clear, difficult things easy, and dull things cheerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n De Medeiros boiled down Tolstoy\u2019s thoughts into a simple statement: \u201cIntelligent people are unafraid to be kind.\u201d He then took things a step further by noting that Tolstoy believed in the power of emotional intelligence<\/a>. \u201cTo have emotional intelligence<\/a> is to see the good in other people, that is what Tolstoy meant, that to be intelligent is to be kind,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems that, according to de Medeiros, Tolstoy understood that intelligent people are kind and perceptive of the kindness in others. The intelligent person is conscious of the kindness within themselves and in the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Tolstoy actually said about intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
