Weak Love and Strong Love
This is a story about loss, Russian pride, and realistic consequences that come when people do not put puzzle pieces of their life together with a childlike regard for others. The chain of events unleashed is dictated by the lazy consciences some rich people develop or respect that lasts. When beauty brings temptation, it may cause anger to spill over. Hard decisions are made over life and death, love or grief, money and change. There's a little bit of humor in the story if you know where to look, and for all the sorrow, there is a light that shines no matter what for those who are not too cynical. Set in the nineteenth century, this tale shows high society struggling with privileged yet claustrophobic lives. When nobles do not act noble, hearts break. When conscience disconnects from deed, decisions must be made over desire or honor and violence or peace. Peace is found when morality is attached to love instead of stolen love being squandered.
