Man's Search For Meaning Is The Chief

When We Are No Longer Able To Change A Situation - We Are Challenged To Change Ourselves.

For The Meaning Of Life Differs From Man To Man, From Day To Day And From Hour To Hour. What Matters, Therefore, Is Not The Meaning Of Life In General But Rather The Specific Meaning Of A Person's Life At A Given Moment.

There Are Some Authors Who Contend That Meanings And Values Are "nothing But Defense Mechanisms, Reaction Formations And Sublimations." But As For Myself, I Would Not Be Willing To Live Merely For The Sake Of My "defense Mechanisms," Nor Would I Be Ready To Die Merely For The Sake Of My "reaction Formations.

What Will It Matter To Him If He Notices That He Is Growing Old? Has He Any Reason To Envy The Young People Whom He Sees, Or Wax Nostalgic Over His Own Lost Youth? What Reasons Has He To Envy A Young Person? For The Possibilities That A Young Person Has, The Future Which Is In Store For Him? "no, Thank You," He Will Think. "instead Of Possibilities, I Have Realities In My Past, Not Only The Reality Of Work Done And Love Loved, But Of Sufferings Bravely Suffered. These Sufferings Are Even The Things Of Which I Am Most Proud, Though These Things Are Things That Cannot Inspire Envy."
