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 se￾vere 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.
