Man's Search for Meaning
Friday, November 05, 2010
I haven't read this book by Victor Frankl (original: 1946) in full, but it centers around how some people may still emerge triumphant in the darkest hour, if they found meaning in their lives. How? And what do you mean by 'meaning'?
Essentially, it is about taking responsibility for your life. It is about discovering a deeper meaning for how you live. And much of such responsibility and deeper meaning revolves very much around the concept of love. You must find a calling or mission in life which brings you a sense of fulfilment. For instance, slogging for money and power alone may just deplete your wholeness and sanity as a person, and your soul. You must answer your own life, by being responsible. A sense of 'responsibleness' is the very essence of your human existence.
Do you want a responsible, loving, and meaningful life?
