In Max Frisch's book "I'm Not Stiller," the author explores the concept of emotional and psychological harm that can be inflicted on individuals, which often goes unnoticed by society. He suggests that acts of violence can manifest not only physically but also through words and actions that affect a person's essence or soul. This notion emphasizes that even subtle gestures, like a smile or a moment of openness, can either wound or heal people in profound ways.

Frisch's reflection draws attention to the resilience of certain individuals who remain untouched by the negativity or indifference around them. He yearns to identify those who possess the strength to withstand the emotional trials presented by others and who can maintain their integrity amidst silence and superficiality. His insights challenge us to recognize the depth of human interaction beyond physical acts of violence.
