Man's Search for Meaning tells the chilling and inspirational story of eminent psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, who was imprisoned at Auschwitz and other concentration camps for three years during the Second World War. Immersed in great suffering and loss, Frankl began to wonder why some of his fellow prisoners were able not only to survive the horrifying conditions, but to grow in the process. Frankl's conclusion - that the most basic human motivation is the will to meaning...
I am not sure if I have found meaning. in my life...maybe glimpses. I do remember reading Man's Search For Meaning like it was yesterday. St. James Cathedral offered a monthly book group, and this was the featured reading. I usually do not write in books. I underlined. I highlighted.
It was not the meaning I found or that was assigned to my life. I have not endured the suffering Frankl or others have had in their lives.I believe it continues to be the gifts I have been given through having God in my life.
I have been given the gifts of perseverance and God's love if I accept it.
What is the meaning you have found in your life? What are the gifts you have realized?
