What gives life meaning?Spiritual Wellness
The Spirit of Love "But my mind clung to my wife's image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look was then more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise… …A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life l saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth-that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which (anyone) can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of (all) is through love and in love. I understood how a (person) who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved.”
Viktor Frankl
