Consider A Movie: It Consists Of Thousands Upon Thousands Of Individual Pictures, And Each Of Them Makes Sense And Carries A Meaning, Yet The Meaning Of The Whole Film Cannot Be Seen Before Its Last Sequence Is Shown. However, We Cannot Understand The Whole Film Without Having First Understood Each Of Its Components, Each Of The Individual Pictures. Isn't It The Same With Life? Doesn't The Final Meaning Of Life, Too, Reveal Itself, It At All, Only At Its End, On The Verge Of Death?

Consider A Movie: It Consists Of Thousands

Viktor E. Frankl

Consider A Movie: It Consists Of Thousands Upon Thousands Of Individual Pictures, And Each Of Them Makes Sense And Carries A Meaning, Yet The Meaning Of The Whole Film Cannot Be Seen Before Its Last Sequence Is Shown. However, We Cannot Understand The Whole Film Without Having First Understood Each Of Its Components, Each Of The Individual Pictures. Isn't It The Same With Life? Doesn't The Final Meaning Of Life, Too, Reveal Itself, It At All, Only At Its End, On The Verge Of Death?

To Draw An Analogy: A Man's Suffering Is Similar To The Behavior Of A Gas. If A Certain Quantity Of Gas Is Pumped Into An Empty Chamber, It Will Fill The Chamber Completely And Evenly, No Matter How Big The Chamber. Thus Suffering Completely Fills The Human Soul And Conscious Mind, No Matter Whether The Suffering Is Great Or Little. Therefore The "size" Of Human Suffering Is Absolutely Relative.
