#ViktorFrankl is one of the authors I turn to in dark times. Man's Search For Meaning was incredibly impactful and his words have stayed with me

He said "Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation"

You cannot choose your circumstances. You cannot choose how the world will change around you. But you can choose how you will respond

If you believe it is the end, how does that inform your response?

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.

Entre le stimulus et la réponse il y a un espace... Dans cet espace est notre pouvoir de choisir notre réponse. Dans notre réponse résident notre croissance et notre liberté.

#ViktorFrankl / Nos raisons de vivre : à l'école du sens de la vie (posthume/2009)

Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.

Pour un sujet désireux de trouver sa place, de se connaître et d'être reconnu par les autres, sans pour cela sacrifier sa singularité, il est proprement insupportable de devoir se faire une raison contre toute raison.

#ViktorFrankl / Le sens de ma vie (posthume/2019)

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
Viktor E. Frankl

"As for the concept of collective guilt, I personally think that it is totally unjustified to hold one person responsible for the behavior of another person or a collective of persons."

Begin Today With the End in Mind
Not every man knows what he shall sing at the end,Watching the pier as the ship sails away, or what it will seem likeWhen he’s held by the sea’s roar, motionless, there at the end,Or what he shall hope for once it is clear that he’ll never go back.When the time has passed to prune the rose or caress the cat,When the sunse

“For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.” #ViktorFrankl #GodIsLove #love #hope #poetry #philosophy

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: to choose one's own way

It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us
