You Don't Create Your Mission In Life

To Be Sure, Man's Search For Meaning May Arouse Inner Tension Rather Than Inner Equilibrium. However, Precisely Such Tension Is An Indispensable Prerequisite Of Mental Health. There Is Nothing In The World, I Venture To Say, That Would So Effectively Help One To Survive Even The Worst Conditions As The Knowledge That There Is A Meaning In One's Life. There Is Much Wisdom In The Words Of Nietzsche: "he Who Has A Why To Live For Can Bear Almost Any How

No One Can Become Fully Aware Of The Very Essence Of Another Human Being Unless He Loves Him.

There Are Some Authors Who Contend That Meanings And Values Are "nothing But Defense Mechanisms, Reaction Formations And Sublimations." But As For Myself, I Would Not Be Willing To Live Merely For The Sake Of My "defense Mechanisms," Nor Would I Be Ready To Die Merely For The Sake Of My "reaction Formations.

Everywhere Man Is Confronted With Fate , With A Chance Of Achieving Something Through His Own Suffering.

Ultimately, Man Should Not Ask What The Meaning Of His Life Is, But Rather He Must Recognize That It Is He Who Is Asked.
