3.Finding and Creating meaning: Three ways of discovering the meaning in life

Viktor Frankl’s search for meaning

- First, in suffering, we must creatively transform the situation that causes us to suffer

- Second, as a human being, we are vulnerable to the weakness of the human factor and
that although we are guilty of the wrongs we have done, we should not alow ourselves to
wallow in self-pity. Instead, we should be responsibble enough to conquer such guilt
feelings by ascending over such transgression, growing beyond ourselves, and by
changing ourselves.
