Frankl didn't ask why he was suffering. He asked what it meant.
Sophia Frankl Logotherapy Reflection
Viktor Frankl developed logotherapy after surviving Auschwitz, arguing that the primary human drive isn't pleasure or power but the will to meaning — and that meaning can be found even in unavoidable suffering, through the attitude you choose to take toward it. That's a claim worth testing against your own life, not just admiring from a distance. Writing about where you're suffering, and what it might mean rather than just how it feels, is one way in.
