Lectures which Viktor Frankl delivered in 1946, written after his release from a Nazi concentration camp. Frankl writes: "the question can no longer be 'What can I expect from life?' but can now only be 'What does life expert of me?' What tasks in life is waiting for me?
According to Frankl, "the question of the meaning of life is not asked in the right way, if asked in the way it is generally asked: it is not we who are permitted to ask about the meaning of life -- it is life that asks the questions, directs questions at us -- we are the one who are questioned! We are the ones who must answers, must give answers to the constant, hourl;y question of life, to the essential 'life questions.'"
