Me VS Florida POSTED AT 11:39 PM
Florida is kicking my ass! For the first week I've been down here, we had torrential downpours. I got eaten alive by mosquitos one morning, by ants another day. I stepped on a jelly fish and then the next day a crab, which bit me. Then, I stepped on a bee today. So yeah, Florida is kicking my ass.

Frankl on Individuality POSTED AT 10:38 PM Man's Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl
"This uniqueness and singleness which distinguishes each individual and gives a meaning to his existence has a bearing on creative work as much as it does on human love. When the impossiblity of replacing a person is realized, it allows the responsibility which a man has for his existence and its continuance to appear in all its magntitude. A man who becomes conscious of the responsiblity he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how'" (p. 79-80).

Frankl on Love POSTED AT 08:23 PM
Man's Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl "A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth -- that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in the world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in a positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way -- an honorable way -- in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, "The angels are lost in the perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory." (p. 37-38).
