Man’s Search for Meaning

in #hive-1801643 years ago

Hello everybody,

Now I will share with you my criticisms about the book “Man’s Search for Meaning” that I read freshly. I talked about the book about life and a friend recommended it. While I was in a very depressing mood about the meaninglessness of life, I naturally reflected this mood in our conversation. Based on this recommendation, I bought the book as the first thing and started reading it. The language of the book is quite simple and fluent, but I had a hard time reading the book. The reason for this was my pessimistic mood. I finished the book by reading just one page some days. I absolutely loved the book.

After this long introduction, let’s move on to the subject of the book. The book actually comprises three different parts. The first part, which was the part that I had trouble reading, comprised the author’s memories in the Auschwitz camp during the second world war.

Author Viktor Emil Frankl is a neurologist and psychiatrist, but even these qualities did not save him from being imprisoned in Auschwitz camps. For this reason, the book also carries an autobiography feature. It is very difficult for the imagination to create these events. If you have read Yevgeny Zamyatin’s book "We", you will be familiar with the fact that people don’t have names but are just numbered. There was a similar situation in A Clockwork Orange, which is also one of my favorite books. When our anti-hero Alex went to prison, they gave him a serial number. After that time, they were just numbers. I could accept that because they were dystopias. However, here, too, the prisoners taken to the prison camp are given a number. This event affected me a lot. One of the hardest things that can be done to devalue a person is to take away one’s self. Of course, they didn’t end up with just that. Reading about the physical tortures endured gave me chills. But human beings can endure physical pain to some extent. How long can it last psychologically? What kept these people alive? As the author states, the way I endure these terrible physical and psychological tortures was to have a purpose to keep him alive. Sometimes this is a child waiting for them, or the conclusion of years of hard effort. Although this purpose is unique for everybody, the way to resist this pain is to have a purpose.

In summary, in this chapter, we read about the author's experiences in this terrible situation, how he was able to resist, and his observations on prisoners like himself. Another situation that impresses me here is that we see that people are only divided into good or bad, regardless of language, religion, or race. Sometimes we can see that even an officer in an Auschwitz camp can actually be a good person.

In the second part, what is Logotherapy, which is the founder of the author, is discussed. This chapter was easier for me to read. yes, it was more technical, but those terrible Auschwitz memories were harder to read. Logotherapy is derived from the Latin word **"Logos" ** which means "meaning". As I mentioned in the first chapter, the author believes that what keeps people alive is meaning. With this therapy method, he tries to add meaning to people's lives or to find meaning in life. When psychology is involved, it is not possible to mention its name. Sigmund Freud. Here the author shares the differences and commonalities between Freud's method of psychoanalysis and his own Logotherapy

I have many more comments about the book, but since I realized that the article is too long, I end my article here. After finishing this book, I often think about what keeps me alive? What is my purpose in life? Maybe things will be easier when I find that meaning.

Stay with "Meaning"

Notice many "new users" on Hive? Not many, like this place is a disease. No outside communities bringing in new comers. No other sites having many links or no links to any articles from Hive on sites that show professional interests they view as noteworthy to a profession or hobby. Hive articeles are rare on reddit.com. Wouldnt people post on reddit.com with links to their articles attracting their own new following and groups? No crypto forums acknowledge Hive exists as a place to be either. Ever seen a person asking for support show a way to give support with HIVE listed as a supporting wallet address? Is there a world address on Hive for countries made more unfortunate because of Hive? Would a large Hive holder or large earner of Hive donate a LARGE amount of Hive to help support Ukraine? What? Support something thing that could attract unwanted media attention? Nothing to see here......I dont get out much though.

People are hiding exposure to Hive. People either play dumb, could be scared or intimidated, mislead or dont beilieve it. Maybe just not electronically cultured enough to know. Who knows. Its mostly fake with fake attention paid for by people with ill intentions as many do gloating in their own groups special mindset. Such a small town here to support this kind of high pay. Who is buying Hive tokens with no notable new user base coming in? People trying to buy this place as a grooming ground on the sly. Articles that arent in the interests of their own goals and views dont get much attention. I dont see many high paid articles I would put on a real news sites or link to as noteworthy. Be part of one of their groups and they groom you. They buy comment and article writers in ways that keep their lies hidden. Here to take our FREEDOMS completely in treason as the sacks of shit they are.

Most interest groups and businesses have discord rooms on the side because they wont talk here or more able to teach views there to shill out of public view. They can do odd stuff to you in discord rooms they cant do here. I’ve seen people get mugged and shaken down in discords, be careful while visiting new discords, even if they are a business. They shut down the discord room along with all of the evidence of their crimes the group around @fyrstikken and his discord server @steemspeak. They also hide behind skirts there while on the creep like they do in the new ones they are in.

The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.

I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.

I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.

They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?

People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

Noted. Will mute this user.

Another question: what language did you read the book in? I don't recognize it.
(The original language is german and that is the language I want to read it in)

Really nice article. This is a book I am currently reading so I immediately was interested in your review. I've not read the whole thing but the experiences of Victor Frankl in the concentration camp is one that would stick with me for a while. Victor was an admirer of Sigmund Freud so I knew he would be mentioned in the book. I can't wait to get to the part he starts talking about Logotherapy.

Thank you for your review. I have been wanting to read that book for a while now. Since I have so many books, it might take some time till I can get round to it, but I'm sure I will some day! It seems like a very interesting read.
