Meaning Quotes

Question 1

1. “If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.”

Question 2

2. “It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life—daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct.”

Answer 2

Frankl suggests that meaning is found in our responses to life’s challenges rather than in what we expect from life. It’s about taking responsibility and acting according to our values and conscience.
