Life, Love, Happiness -- What's Life Really?

Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl once wrote, "Life is never made unbearable bycircumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose." For most people, feeling joyful and findinglife meaningful are targets that are both important and related. But do meaning and happiness gotogether? It seems unlikely, given that a lot of the items that we often pick to do - to raising children,from running marathons - are unlikely to raise our day-to-day happiness.

I find life fun, fascinating, entertaining, an innovative experience... though I accept that it may betaken away at any time, and that means you should be happy with your daily life and willing toexpire for any specified minute. Morbid? No. Honest? Yes.
