Three (3)ways To Find Meaning In Your Lif by Niceboyx4(m): 9:07pm On Jan 23, 2020 |
Its somehow not agreeable to says(tells) what's the real meaning of life. Life it's self doesn't have meaning rather we create (add) meaning to life, like saying we create value in life, it's sometimes where you found yourself at a given time or place your meaning to live, for a life whose meaning depends upon such a happen stance - as whether one escapes or not - ultimately would not be worth living at all." "Please pardon my English" we can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: we can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by creating a work or doing a deed; (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; and (3) by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering. - VIKTOR E. FRANKL the Author of "MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING" (1) by creating a work or doing a deed; The first, the way of achievement or accomplishment, is quite obvious. The second and third need further elaboration. For example doing work for free for others you're not just doing it for only them but for yourself and also giving your all because (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; The second way of finding a meaning in life is by experiencing something - such as goodness, truth and beauty - by experiencing nature and culture or, last but not least, by experiencing another human being in his very uniqueness - by loving him. (3) by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering. The third way of finding a meaning in life is by suffering. We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation - just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer - we are challenged to change ourselves. Let me cite a clear-cut example: Once, an elderly general practitioner consulted me because of his severe depression. He could not overcome the loss of his wife who had died two years before and whom he had loved above all else. Now, how could I help him? What should I tell him? Well, I refrained from telling him anything but instead confronted him with the question, "What would have happened, Doctor, if you had died first, and your wife would have had to survive you?" "Oh," he said, "for her this would have been terrible; how she would have suffered!" Whereupon I replied, "You see, Doctor, such a suffering has been spared her, and it was you who have spared her this suffering - to be sure, at the price that now you have to survive and mourn her." He said no word but shook my hand and calmly left my office. In some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
