The Faith & Politics Institute's Weekly Reflection

Submitted by secretary on October 14, 2007 - 1:54am.

For the Week of April 24, 2007

If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.

Some details of inner greatness come to mind, like the story of the young woman whose death I witnessed in a concentration camp.

It is a simple story. There is little to tell and it may sound as if I had invented it; but to me it seems like a poem. This young woman knew that she would die in the next few days. But when I talked to her she was cheerful in spite of this knowledge. ‘I am grateful that fate has hit me so hard', she told me. ‘In my former life I was spoiled and did not take spiritual accomplishments seriously.'

Pointing through the window of the hut, she said, ‘This tree here is the only friend I have in my loneliness.' Through that window she could see just one branch of a chestnut tree, and on the branch were two blossoms. ‘ I often talk to the tree,' she said. I was startled and didn't quite know how to take her words. Was she delirious? Did she have occasional hallucinations? Anxiously I asked her if the tree replied. ‘ Yes'. What did it say to her? She answered, ‘It said to me, ‘ I am here- I am here- I am life, eternal life'.

--Viktor E. Frankl, from Man's Search for Meaning
