I saw a video clip recently of Viktor Frankl, the famous survivor of the Nazi concentration camps who wrote "Man's Search for Meaning". The video is of one of his very old lectures about searching for meaning in life, and, while it's tough to make out some of the images, it's worth listening to it.
I thought it would be relevant for The Happy Hour because we here are concerned with finding the meaning in life and have discussions about this all the time through these postings.
He has a simple message, that we must aim higher than our ordinary lives in order to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. He makes the point that there are forces blowing against us everyday that can throw us off course and we might end up in a different place than we intend to go. As Yogi Berra once said, "If you don't know where you are going, you might end up there!" Here Frankl makes the same point in an interesting way.
All the best, Roger W.
