It Is This Spiritual Freedom - Which Cannot Be Taken Away - That Makes Life Meaningful And Purposeful.

To Suffer Unecessarily Is Masochistic Rather Than Heroic.

Most Men In A Concentration Camp Believed That The Real Opportunities Of Life Had Passed. Yet, In Reality, There Was An Opportunity And A Challenge.

Man Does Not Simply Exist But Always Decides What His Existence Will Be, What He Will Become The Next Moment. By The Same Token, Every Human Being Has The Freedom To Change At Any Instant.

There Are Some Authors Who Contend That Meanings And Values Are "nothing But Defense Mechanisms, Reaction Formations And Sublimations."
