Do You Just Go Back to Your Life?

Shalmo's book about the kalima gulog, it talks about this same sort of lifelong trama. It reads like he's grieving for the loss of a certain kind of innocence when he says that there are things that a man should not see. And if he does see them, it's better for him to die. Sharlomov himself was broken by that vision. In snyder's book, bloodlands, he talks about the damage that something like this does to a people and to a society,. Not just physically, but morally and psychologically.
