Sharing

We should impart our courage, and not our despair, our health and ease, and not our disease, and take care that this does not spread by contagion.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden

What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you...

human life, under any circumstances, never ceases to have a meaning, and that this infinite meaning of life includes suffering and dying, privation and death...face up to the seriousness of our position.

No one can relieve him of his suffering or suffer in his place. His unique opportunity lies in the way in which he bears his burden.

But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.

Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I'm reading, writing, talking, sharing. Many good people are giving me insight into great thinking. Certainly I endeavor to uncover the "why" and day by day the "how" to live with what happened. Frankl wrote, "Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct."

Right action and right conduct is something I can and will do.

Peace
