One of my favorite books is
Man’s Search for Meaning, written by Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychotherapist
who survived confinement in Nazi concentration camps. So many of those around
him perished. They lost hope. They fell into despair, then death. He managed to
get through the ordeal by applying what I believe is our highest human freedom:
our ability to choose how we respond to and process any event that happens to
us. We can look for some good or we can become haunted by the bad. Frankl
writes, “everything can be taken from a person but one thing, the last of the
human freedoms to choose one’s attitude to a given set of circumstances, to
choose one’s way.” Such a magnificent thought.
“Everything can be taken from a person but one thing, the
last of the human freedoms to choose one’s attitude to a given set of
circumstances, to choose one’s way”
