Victor Frankl is a very interesting man to me. He survived some of the most tragic circumstances and still remained optimistic through it all. He believed that no matter what someone can always find meaning in their life. To me i like the way he views life. It is somewhat very similar to my outlook on life. I feel as if i have had some of the worst situations for a college student to grow up in, but i somehow still made it to a university full scholarship because i remained optimistic in the roughest of times.
However now that I am a college student ,a dn i now live freely and independently i am often dazed and confused and feel like my life doesnt have meaning. I believe I would most certainly fall into the Logotherapy category as someone who is depressed because they have yet to find meaning in their life. In fact its something I think about daily. What major should i be in? What career do i want to pursue. Am i making the right choices? Doubt is constantly riding my mind, so i feel its better to live the Victor Frankl way of life and attempt to find my meaning to escape this depression state of life.
So now that i know what I must do in order to obtain happiness, why haven't I achieved it yet, along with many other people. Why is it that so many intelligent people are stuck inside the existential vacuum. I think its simply because we seek to know the unknown , we quarrel with the notion if our lives have subjective meaning, and if we truly have happiness when in reality we will never know if we picked the right path. Therefore I personally think it doesn’t matter if your meaning is the right one or not. If you find a meaning in your life , run with it and live life as happiest as possible.
