Frankle
was a Jews psychologist imprisoned by Nazis along with his entire family during
World war-2. He has narrated his entire life experiences in his book
"Man's search for meaning". His life in the camp is the pinnacle of
sufferings which no other human beings would have gone through in their life on
earth. All his love ones were killed in the gas chamber in front of his eyes
and he was tortured by the soldiers beyond any one's imagination.
He had two choices - one to kill himself by abusing
the soldier as no one can kill themselves on their own or stay calm and find a
"Purpose" in this hostile environment. Obviously he chose the later.
He
extended an affectionate service as a psychologist comforting all his fellow
human beings and remained sane till the end of the Hitlers regime while people
became mad. After release form the camp Victor Frankle founded a new therapy
for depression named as "Logo Therapy". Logo means
"Purpose". Those who are bored or depressed are the ones who have not
yet found purpose in their life.
One
of the greatest sayings of Victor Frankle is:
"They
can take away everything from me except my freedom to choose the response to
any external stimuli & situation". His definition of
"Freedom" revolutionized the later generations who truly understood
what he is saying. Our peace & Happiness is not the function of any
external objects and events, but by the choices we make in any situations.
Don't get succumbed by the events and gain victory over them by making right
choices.
With whole of my heart
