Galenkp's Stuff

Everything but...

Over the last few weeks a few friends of mine have been working through some thoughts based around a book by Viktor E Frankl called, Man's search for meaning.

The people I'm talking about have had to do difficult things in life and, as often is the case with such people, remnants remain, scars and other things, and we have found some interesting thoughts - and found out some things about ourselves - based around the book and thoughts and experiences of its author.

I thought I'd share a few quotes from the fellow, Viktor E Frankl, in a post or two.

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." - Viktor E. Frankl

Feel free to comment with your thoughts or feelings about the quote above if you're so inclined.

What’s the difference between @galenkp and a boomerang? A boomerang actually comes back.

As for whether galenkp will... Well, we shall see.

I’m glad to hear that everything is okay with you, and that you’re safe and well.

Honestly, I got a bit worried when I saw you hadn't been around for more than two weeks—which is usually the maximum duration of our trips, whether for business or pleasure. If we don't see each other here on Hive, I want to thank you for all the interesting topics and content I’ve had the chance to read in your communities. But I still hope you’ll come back at some point 🙂

All the best!

My thought right now is, where you at?? 😄

Maybe you told you were going out of town or on a cruz or something.

Just checking in. Hope you are ok.

One's own free way always comes at the sacrifice of others. The magic is within choosing what freedom to keep, and which to forfeit for the community. There might be humans who are happy all by themselves, I am not. So I gladly sacrifice some freedom for the sake of community.

Greetings @galenkp ,

This is one of my all time favourite books to think on and to recommend.

The quote you give is as good a take away as any from this excellent book.

I appreciate the story given of man being questioned by the SS ...was asked 'Who are you?' and he proceeded to show his documents....the questioner threw the documents in the waste paper bin and inquired...'Now who are you?'

Thank you for your post...enjoyed thinking again on 'Man's Search for Meaning'.

My greatest take away from the book....In adversity, in order to survive...one must remain objective.

Kind Regards, Bleujay

That is such an empowering statement. It comes with great responsibility and accountability that some struggle with. Knowing you have impulses but an intellect and wisdom to regulate them puts the control over how we react solely in our hands. Owning the results of our reactions is a bitter pill sometimes but I would rather have control than someone else to blame.
@bozz(83)· 52d
That's a tough one for sure. We seem to have a really hard time controlling our attitude. Almost more than any other part of us I would guess.
@davideownzall(75)· 52d
I'd say most of one's life is circumstances that one can't control or has no freedom over them, that's life I guess? The proper attitude makes a big difference, and I'd say it's an hard skill to master
@deirdyweirdy(72)· 52d
I'd certainly agree with that. We don't always get to choose what happens to us, but we can choose whether it makes us bitter or better.
