Meaning
Over the last few weeks a few friends of mine have been working through some thoughts based around a book by Viktor E Frankl called, Man's search for meaning.
The people I'm talking about have had to do difficult things in life and, as often is the case with such people, remnants remain, scars and other things, and we have found some interesting thoughts - and found out some things about ourselves - based around the book and thoughts and experiences of its author.
I thought I'd share a few quotes from the fellow, Viktor E Frankl, in a post or two.
"There is nothing in the world, I venture to say, that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one's life." - Viktor E. Frankl

I see you flowers photo and call it with a flower photo of my own.I agree that life without meaning(either real or self imagined) would be way harder than it is now. Like I said in the past I am far from religious and I don't want any form of eternal life. But I still amazed that religious people find meaning in their stories. It is weird. at times even scary. But also interesting that different people can see meaning in completely different areas of life.
I'm also not religious and tend to think that some who are tend to be quite delusional. However, as you say, people find meaning in different things and ways.
And the meaning doesn't have to be something grand. For many it is simply family, a faith, a responsibility, or that a person needs you. Or a combination of all those.
That's a good one. I think we all kind of home on some level we are here to accomplish something or that our life had made a difference to at least one person.
If each of us made a positive difference to one other person everyone on the plant would have something positive to take away right?
That's exactly right. The meaningful thing could be so many different things from large to small. I actually think the smallest things can be the most impactful as they are often easier to do more often.
For sure!
