Episode 42 - Beach Party and Words of Wisdom from Viktor E. Frankl about the Meaning of Life

The Hopeful Humanist Cafe

What does a beach party have to do with the meaning of life? In this morning file, I invite you to join me and Woodrow II as we start off the day with some music and a thought for the day to make one think. The thought of the day is a quote from Viktor Frankl which is one of my favourites about the meaning of life. The quote comes from the book, "MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING," which I believe is a must read. Be prepared for a long pause close to the end of the file as I wanted to provide some space for wonder. Also, I should note, while reading the quote from pages 108 to 109, I felt inclined in the moment to add some inclusive language (specifically, the word "one") as an effort to make the ideas more accessible to all. I know it is not a choice all would make or agree with. I am also well aware my decision to open things up by using the word "one" also somewhat hampers the flow of the read. My hope is that the sharing experience is still a great way to start the day.
