In Search of Meaning

IN SEARCH OF MEANING Everyone, knowingly or unknowingly, is in search of God. And when he finds Him, he becomes calm and content. It is only the self-discovered God that can give you conviction. I n 1946, the Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Emil Frankl (1905 – 1997) authored a book called Man’s Search for Meaning, and over the years, many books with similar titles have been written. During the more than three hundred years of the printing press, billions of similar books have been published in different languages and if a common title were to be given to all these books, it would, without doubt, be: In Search of Meaning. A human being, by nature, is a seeker after meaning. Everyone tries to find answers to his questions, for everyone is born with an enquiring mind. And, it is this quest which has resulted in the writing of so many books on the subject, in both fictional and nonfictional genres. All, directly or indirectly, have as their central theme the quest for truth.
