RE: Book review: Edith Eger. The choice. The memoirs of a Holocaust survivor

Powerful and quite sensitive words. I felt carried away by emotion when trying to picture the scenario, love is undoubtedly a universal force that can make or mar an individual. The mind remain a glorified prison for our outward expression and feelings. Thanks for sharing this deep piece, most life situations are better learnt than experience because all may not have the courage to absorb the trumatization thereafter.

Hello! Thank you very much for stopping by! The ideal way is to have a mind-heart connection which can allow us to feel while also think. But some things can only be told through the language of love. Our mind can become our biggest prison , I think (ha) that it would be better to learn how to feel emotions rather than using the mind all the time.

I can't completely grasp what Edith has been through. I am strong believer in the fact that until you haven't experienced it, you can't understand it. So only a former prisoner can truly feel what she has felt. I can only imagine and ponder in awe, admiring the amount of strenght she must have had.
