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.

Man's inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.

Success is total self-acceptance.

Once an individual's search for meaning is successful, it not only renders him happy but also gives him the capability to cope with suffering

There are two races of men in this world but only these two: the race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man.

The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing

As for the concept of collective guilt, I personally think that it is totally unjustified to hold one person responsible for the behavior of another person or a collective of persons.
