Mount Athos monk

A Monk Lived For 82 Years Without Seeing A Single Woman In His Entire Life.

This article was published in an Athens newspaper on October 29th, 1938.

Mihailo Toloto was born in 1856. Shortly after his mother’s death (after giving birth), a few men carried him up to a monastery on Mount Athos (a mountain located on a peninsula in northeastern Greece). He grew up in the monastery and spent his whole life on the peninsula until his death.

How Our Judgments of Others Reveal Our True Selves

It’s often said that the qualities that bother us in others are reflections of our own internal struggles. When we criticize or judge others, it’s not just about them; it’s a window into our own insecurities, fears, and unresolved issues.
