No Future, No Emotions

When liberation happen, the prisoners tasted "freedom". Walking out of the concentration camp with no shouts, no kicking or rifle butts hitting out was something strange for the prisoners. A weird relief from the expectations after living in the camp. There is no feeling of joy or exhilaration. Their emotions are dead. When there is no future, there is no hope and emotions died with them.

Viktor Frankl says there are 2 race of human - decent and indecent. Decent human race no matter what their colour or role is treat another human with kindness. He gave examples of camp guard and commander that the prisoners protect after the Allied forces win the war and the table was turned. He also bring out the example of prisoner who treat other prisoners cruelly.

It is hard to describe the feeling. However, I can say it is hard to fathom what Frankl had gone through and impossible to empathise. I am relief and glad I did not have this kind of experience.
