Original thread
Viktor Frankl[1] was a psychologist who wrote the remarkable book Man's Search for Meaning[2], where he recounted his experience as a prisoner in Auschwitz and noticed that those who survived in such circumstances had a strong sense of meaning.
He explored the question of meaning more fully in his later work, and came to believe that the meaning of your life was a question that life asks of you, and that you answer this question by the choices that you make.
