After reading The Drowned and the
Saved by Primo Levi, I found it
very educating under the section from Ch. 3 entitled Shame. The
chapter was very enlighting. While reading I noticed a true statement
I myself learned from my past. Levi gave me a better understand on
what exactly it was. The way he described it as an Anguish. Which
means sever mental or physical pain or suffering. He said;
“One
can think that one is suffering at facing the future and instead be
suffering because of one's past; one can think that one is suffering
for others, out of pity, out of compassion, and instead be suffering
from one's own reasons, more or less profound, more or less avowable
and avowed, sometimes so deep that only a specialist, the analyst of
souls, knows how to exhume them.” (Levi 71).
I
found this so true today. Like I stated earlier I had those same
symptoms. Having Anguish is something very serious, and should most
defiantly be treat for or get help. I think back and remember my high
school years and how much I went through mentally, physically and
emotional. I really was on the verge of suicide because suffering was
so intense that the only way I felt to get away from it all or ease
my pain was to kill myself. But after getting help and knowing how to
control my emotions when a type of pain happens makes it so easier to
get past the suffering so much faster.
