It takes courage to read

With great perseverance, I read Indestructible. The deeds of the protagonist, Zamperini Louis, shocked me. I can't imagine his days in the prisoner of war camp, where the sun was dark, the food was poor, he was constantly working, and he was constantly being beaten... They lived a humble life, which was worse than death. Why are the Japanese so cruel? Has the idea of ​​militarism penetrated into the heart of their culture? I don't know what's wrong with this brutal nation. The dignity of prisoners of war has been ruthlessly trampled on, so that many years after the war, people still cannot heal their hearts and cannot find an outlet for their souls...

Many years later, the alcoholic Louis found himself, faced himself, and forgave his enemies.
