You are so right! Bears repeating:
“This is a fantastic book. It should be required reading in our schools.”
HST, one must be inquisitive about one’s life in order to assimilate and appreciate Dr. Frankl’s conclusion that humans NEED purpose.
As a general question, I wonder how many purposeless people have y’all have encountered in your passage through this life?
Bet they were not grounded in a Judeo-Christian upbringing.
To me, this gets right to the heart of everything that is wrong with liberalism. Liberals don't recognize this need. A Christian upbringing is a de-facto admission of there being more to life than just hanging around for 80 years.
As for encountering purposeless people:
I think most people eventually get it right, but it takes some a lot longer than others. This is where our education system is failing. It would be much easier if the schools explained all of this to the kids who don't learn at home, rather than making them spend 10 to 20 years of their adult lives trying to figure this out.
