Even if you are a victim, dont remain one

@Zonuss I don't want or pretend to speak for Carla, but I think that is the very point she's making.

I may be a victim of some crime for example. Once the deed is done, the crime is over, but the fear and anxiety etc doesn't just go away. If it remains, it can be debilitating and so must be dealt with on it's own so that I don't remain a victim.

Just my 2 cents.

@Zonuss true. That is why our minds need exercised, daily, to give us the strengh to overcome.

@Carla It IS in the mind.

@LamontCranston Well said.

@Carla I agree.

For Frankl, meaning came from three possible sources: purposeful work, love, and courage in the face of difficulty.

@Budwick exactly, bud:)

@Carla (I still love you Carla. Probably always will.)

Thank you for that. Spent some time with his theories. @LamontCranston

@Budwick you are much like my lemon meringue pie. 7 pieces of wonderfulness. But that one piece, number 8. Too much lemon zest in that one triangle of crust. Just more sour than sweet. But, still, my favorite;)

@Carla a poet.
