ABSTRACT

[There are] three principal ways in which mankind can find meaning in life: by what we give to the world in terms of our creations; what we take from the world in terms of encounters and experiences; and third, the stand we take to our predicament in case we must face a fate which we cannot change. That is why life never ceases to hold a meaning, for even a person who is deprived of both creative and experiential values is still challenged by a meaning to fulfill, that is, by the meaning inherent in the right, in an upright way of suffering.
