Man's Inner Strength May Raise Him Above

A Human Being Is Not One Thing Among Others; Things Determine Each Other, But Man Is Ultimately Self-determining. What He Becomes - Within The Limits Of Endowment And Environment- He Has Made Out Of Himself. In The Concentration Camps, For Example, In This Living Laboratory And On This Testing Ground, We Watched And Witnessed Some Of Our Comrades Behave Like Swine While Others Behaved Like Saints. Man Has Both Potentialities Within Himself; Which One Is Actualized Depends On Decisions But Not On Conditions.

But There Was No Need To Be Ashamed Of Tears, For Tears Bore Witness That A Man Had The Greatest Of Courage, The Courage To Suffer.

These Tasks, And Therefore The Meaning Of Life, Differ From Man To Man, And From Moment To Moment. Thus It Is Impossible To Define The Meaning In Life In A General Way.

One Should Not Search For An Abstract Meaning Of Life ... Life Can Be Made Meaningful In A Threefold Way: First, Through What We Give To Life ... Second, By What We Take From The World ... Third, Through The Stand We Take Toward A Fate We No Longer Can Change.

Ever More People Today Have The Means To Live, But No Meaning To Live For.
