Message: [QUOTE="beefbowl, post: 244501, member: 23514"] Reading Les Misérables wasn’t just reading a book, it felt like being cracked open a little. I picked it up expecting something heavy, maybe even slow, but what I found was something deeply human. It didn’t just tell a story; it held up a mirror, and for the first time in a while, I really looked. Jean Valjean’s journey hit me in a way I didn’t expect. A man labeled a criminal for stealing bread becomes a symbol of compassion, strength, and quiet dignity. Watching him choose kindness, even when the world gave him every reason to be bitter, made me rethink how quick I am to judge, how often I define people by their worst moments. [/QUOTE]
