I would say that our patients never really despair because of any suffering in itself! Instead, their despair stems in each instance from a doubt as to whether suffering is meaningful. Man is ready and willing to shoulder any suffering as soon and as long as he can see a meaning in it.

Everywhere man is confronted with fate , with a chance of achieving something through his own suffering.

Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

The meaning of my life is to help others find meaning in theirs.
