Waiting For Visitors To Show Up?
August

To only focus on oneself would be like living in a house where no-one
visits. It is a strange
thing about man that he can only live by looking to the future, or as that old saying goes, ‘man does not
live by bread alone’.
If we want to find true fulfilment we must transcend ourselves, go beyond our purely selfish needs and find a field
of activity, and a bigger purpose and meaning to our existence.
Viktor Frankl’s experiences in surviving Auschwitz * convinced him that a man can and must find meaning in his life
for a fulfilled existence and meaning can eventuate from three causes:
1. What one accomplishes or gives to the world with one’s creations
2. What one experiences in terms of encounters with others and with nature and...
3. One’s stand towards a fate that one cannot change.
