{123} Transitory Existence

Aug 11

“Those things which seem to take meaning away from human life include not only suffering but dying as well.

“I never tire of saying that the only really transitory aspects of life are the potentialities; but as soon as they are actualized, they are rendered realities at that very moment; they are saved and delivered into the past, wherein they are rescued and preserved from transitoriness. For, in the past, nothing is irretrievably lost but everything irrevocably stored. Thus, the transitoriness of our existence in no way makes it meaningless.” — Viktor Frankl; Man’s Search for Meaning, p. 120
