" But let me make it perfectly clear
that in no way is suffering
necessary to find meaning.
I only insist that meaning is possible
even in spite of suffering-provided,

the meaningful thing to do
would be to remove its cause,
be it psychological, biological or political.
To suffer unnecessarily is masochistic
rather than heroic. "

or even his doubt of it, in every case is derived from, or results in,
any disease. Existential frustration is in itself neither pathological nor pathogenic." -

" As logotherapy teaches, human freedom is in no way a freedom from conditions but rather the freedom to take a stand towards conditions. Therefore, choosing a stand toward suffering means exerting freedom "
