Man's search for meaning is the chief motivation of his life.

The transitoriness of our existence in now way makes it meaningless. But it does constitute our responsibleness; for everything hinges upon our realizing the essentially transitory possibilities.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.
