The search for meaning

09-07-2005, 05:02 PM

The problem with people is that they won't stay in the nice compartments we long to slide them into. Good people do awful things. Frankl describes a dreaded Nazi Concentration Camp official who was captured by the Russians and ending up giving great solace and comfort to his fellow prisoners in Lubyanka.

Life has the meaning we ourselves give it - if we want it to HAVE meaning.

Yeah, I think most people ultimately share my same human response, but some people will fool you.

In the end, we all meet the same fate as that trilobite. What matters is how we LIVE, right this second. And THAT is up to as individuals.
