    "What's your it is that makes you suffer so much? If you gave some of it to me, maybe your pain will be less." Jonas, my beautiful child. I'm so, so sorry 🥺

    I now know why this book changed me. It was the discussion of the importance of choice. In my country I couldn't choose even what to eat, so I went alone to another one. I left everything behind only because this one provided me with the ability of "choosing". Humans don't need sameness, we need is the ability to decide and make mistakes. I really love this book. I haven't thought about this never.

    "What words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine?"
