Viktor
Frankl, was a famous Austrian psychiatrist and writer of the book ‘Man’s Search
for Meaning’, he gave us an example of living life. Dr
Frank was an Austrian of Jewish descent. He was taken to a concentration camp
along with his wife, who was six months pregnant at the time, and his parents however,
he was the only one that survived. Faced with the hopelessness of being alone
and taken everyday along with his peers to the labour camps with shackles on
his feet, he just wanted to die. Thinking that his wife had survived, he fought
to live, he used to walk through the pavilion every night with a lit candle
talking to his peers, motivating them to keep living and telling them that life
always has a meaning. That is how he succeeded in making sure that most of them
survived.
