We needed to stop asking about meaning of life and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk or meditation, but in right action and right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual". .
Frankl recognizes that these tasks, and therefore the meaning of life doffer from man to man, and from moment to moment. Thus, it is impossible to define the meaning of life in general way. Questions about the meaning of life can never be answered by sweeping statements. Life does not mean something vague but something very real and concrete, just as life's tasks also very real and concrete. They form man's destiny which is different and unique for each individual. No man and no destiny can be compared with any other man or any other destiny. .
It is Frankl conviction that human life under any circumstances never ceases to have a meaning, and that this infinite meaning of life includes suffering and dying, privation and death. In fact, his system of logothearpy is based on three tenets:.
• Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
• Every person has an innate desire to find meaning and this will to meaning is man's principal motivation for living.
• Every person has the freedom to find meaning. .
According to Frankl, life can be meaningful in three ways:.
• First, through what we give to the world in and through what we do, what we contribute, what we add to life, what we create. These Frankl calls creative values.
• Secondly through what we take from life and what life gives us, what we experience. For example, in surrender to the beauty of nature or art, and above all in experiencing human beings in their uniqueness for to experience a human being in his uniqueness is to love him.
