The famous saying of kissing the truth
For human existence, thoughtful people often ask about the meaning of life. When depressed, proud, happy, pessimistic, healthy, disabled ... from ancient times to the present, from ancient totems to modern poems and songs, it can be seen that the questioning of the meaning of life is accompanied by the history of human thought development. For individuals, it's just that this kind of questioning is sometimes unconscious and sometimes conscious. Unconsciously, people are in high spirits. When there are countless things to do, he will unconsciously think about the effect of his busyness, correct his direction and test his action route. But he seldom stops to pursue "the meaning of life" because he is in "meaning". On the other hand, this is not the case. For example, when disappointment hangs over you, when darkness hangs over you, when failures hit you one after another, when relatives leave you, when you lose your physical and mental freedom, you can only do a lot of things you don't want to do, and even you are enslaved and whipped ... Then you will consciously think about "the meaning of life". Otherwise, you won't live. Tragic optimism is actually a good psychological remedy for the latter, for the losers in life, or for the losers in a certain stage of life. It's an attitude towards life. If you can understand the connotation of tragic optimism, no matter what your life situation is, you will "treat life positively", which means that life always has potential significance in any case, even in the most tragic situation. The meaning of life is the value of human life and the source of happiness. This is the value of tragic optimism experienced by Austrian psychologist and psychiatry professor Victor E frankl. Man's greatest disaster is being slaughtered by others. What's the point of life in such a disaster? Can you still find the meaning of life in Auschwitz? Professor Victor can be said to be the discoverer and practitioner of tragic optimism. He was once a prisoner in the terrible Auschwitz concentration camp for three years. He described and summarized with personal experiences and feelings. Even under such circumstances, people can still choose their own attitude towards life. In the frustrated sea, you can still see the other side of hope. This belief will be a spiritual pillar to support your life and help you through the sad time.
