Man is questioned by life itself (Viktor Frankl)




Ultimately a person should not ask himself "what is the meaning of my life", but realize that he himself is questioned by life

My God, would You like to comment on this?

That’s all right, My son.
The spiritual world knows better than man, that not everything that happens to him is wanted and meant by God. We also have evolution and its own laws, and coincidence, that a person can play a serious part sometimes. So sometimes man comes across something horrible that is not intended, that does not belong to his destiny and that means nothing. Except for this one thing, which makes the spiritual world very very fascinated, namely 'how does this man respond to this fate, what spiritual power does he exhibit?'

Does man react with victimhood, with complaining, with resistance, with negativity and passivity, or does one react with courage, with wisdom, with will power and with confidence? Are people putting the lemons that life present to them aside full of horror or does one make lemonade of them? And the spiritual world does not judge. The human being who swallows concerning “this destiny" in negativity and victimhood is helped and supported in thousands of ways and with much love and patience.

But the courageous wise man, ah, what a joy it is for God to see how such a person approaches life. And how such a person immediately goes to work to make the best of it, to live life, to give wisely and courageously an answer to what happens to him. Actually as the Christ did, with love and with acceptance and with confidence in the Good God.
And thus this man, while still in the midst of misery, has already earned his spurs. Thus Christ could say "Your will will be done", Etty Hillesum could say "I want to undergo the fate of my people".

The weak people are blessed.
The strong people actually even more.

My blessings to you all
