This book is so... abstract. It covers topics like memories, emotions, worldview, growing up, society, morals, ethics. So many things. And you may or will probably pull different things from it than even I did. It made me think and appreciate emotions even when the feel very complicated and bothersome. If we did not know pain, we could not know joy or love. And if you are a Christian, you might also pull some parallels from it as well, although it is not an allegory by any means. Just something I noticed.
