"On the average, only those prisoners could keep alive who, after years of trekking from camp to camp, had lost all scruples in their fight for existence; they were prepared to use every means, honest and otherwise, even brutal force, theft, and betrayal of their friends, in order to save themselves. We who have come back, by the aid of many lucky chances or miracles - whatever one may choose to call them - we know: the best of us did not return."

- Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)

Typical responses from people when science discovers something that defies logic or odds that are unlikely:
- Christians: "God did it."
- Atheists: "Well that's lucky."

These responses are lazy and don't encourage searching for more answers.

"...once lost, the will to live
seldom returned."

- Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)

"Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it."

- Man's Search for Meaning

What you feel is not reality, it is merely your reality. That is why communicating what you feel with others is so important. Your reality can feel lonely, but when you share it with others, it allows them to become a part of your world.
