This novel made me reflect on my own experiences a lot more. I'm very aware that I don't really know what I'm doing with my life, but some aspects of this book made me realize specific things I've never considered before.
In "Experiences in a Concentration Camp," Frankl mentions a quote he read that stated, "Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it." This stood out to me because I can kind of relate to it. It's no secret that I didn't want to transfer to WY in seventh grade, but my parents gave me no choice. Every second I was at school was torture for a long time and I forgot how to be happy. Looking back, I think the fact that I was mad made me suffer. Once I matured a bit and could understand why going to this school would ultimately be good for me, I could comprehend the different aspects of my situation and that not everything had to be felt the same way. I don't think I've ever really given it much thought until reading this book. Being aware of a particular situation and how you react to it can determine how you feel in general and live your life.
