It can be inferred that when Giver transmits some of his memory to Jonas, Jonas begins to feel some of the pain, Giver on the other hand begins to fell lighter. The above story is from "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.

<h3>What is the central idea of The Giver?</h3>

The importance of memory in human life is one of The Giver's most fundamental topics.

After visiting her aging father, who had lost much of his long-term memory, Lowry was inspired to create The Giver.

The Giver tells the narrative of a civilization where everything looks to be great, pleasant, and tranquil. There is no pain, sorrow, prejudice, bigotry, or anything else. It sounds fantastic, thanks in large part to the Sameness.

Unfortunately, the Sameness did not simply eliminate negative human feelings. The civilization does not know joy, pleasure, or love. In fact, when the people resolved to follow the Sameness, they even forgot about such things.

Jonas learns more about the Sameness and its consequences as he spends more time with the Giver. Jonas finally concludes that a civilization that lacks the ability to experience or recall any form of emotion isn't truly living.

You cannot get information without going to those places.
