And so the unfamiliar becomes jarring. Holocaust survivors found that they felt fully alive while in the camps, perhaps because their adrenaline flow was kept at peak level to keep them alert to danger for so long. As a result, return to a "normal" life seemed terribly grey, for they appeared to have burnt out their ability to feel strong emotions, particularly strong pleasure, which after all is part of what keeps us willing to face another day after having lived with disappointments and so on.
