“painful road to potential salvation.”
― Manish Chopra, The Equanimous Mind

“Frankl writes that what kept him alive when others around him (including close family members) were succumbing to their situation was that he never gave up hope that he would make it out alive. The only way I could imagine he kept his hope genuinely alive and not faking it with wishful thinking was through knowing at a deep and fundamental level that unless with some brutality his tormentors took his life, whatever emotional and physical agony they were inflicting on him would only hurt him deep down into his consciousness if his mind gave permission to accept the pain being caused as a negative sensation, and by wanting it to go away.”
