There he was on the ground,in no condition to go on, and all of a sudden he was no longer in Poland.instead,he found himself imaging himself standing on a stage on postwar Vienna giving a lecture on The Psychology of Death Camps. Audience of two hundred listened to his every word. The lecture was one that he had been working out the whole time he had been in the death camp. He spoke about how some people seem to survive the experience better than others, psychologically and emotionally. It was a brilliant lecture, all taking place in his mind's eye and ear. He was no longer half dead on the field but living in the lecture. During the lecture, Frankl told the imaginary audience about the day he was in that field being beaten and was certain he didn't have the strength to get up and keep walking.    Then, wonder of wonders, he told his imagined audience, he was able to stand up. The guard stopped beating him and get began to walk slowly. As he was imagining describing this to his audience, his body got up and began to walk. He continued to imagine this lecture all the while he was doing the work and through the cold march back to the death comp. He collapsed into his narrow bed, imagining ending this brilliantly clear speech and receiving a standing ovation.

そこに彼は、まったく先に進めるような状態ではなく、地面に横たわっていた。しかし突然彼は、 自分がポーランドにいるのではなくて、戦後のウィーンにいて死の収容所の心理学について 講義している自分を想像しているのにきづいた。講義は、彼が死の収容所にいた全期間を 通じて構想していたものだった。彼は声高らかに、ほかの者よりも心理的そして情緒的に 生き延びることにおいてすぐれているものがいるらしいことを語っていた。それは素晴らしい 講演だったが、すべては、彼の心の目と耳のなかでおきていることだった。彼はもはや 半死半生の状態で地面に横たわっているのではなく、いきいきと講義をしていた。講義の 間、フランクルは、想像上の聴衆にむかって、殴られて地面に横たわっており、たちあがって 歩き続けることなど到底できはしなかった日のことを語った。  すると、なんという奇跡、彼が、想像上の聴衆にむかって、わたしは立ち上がって歩く ことができたと語ると、看守は彼を殴るのをやめてゆっくりとたちさったのである。かれ はこの場面を聴衆に描写するのを想像しながら、からだを起こし歩き始めた。彼は、 作業の間も、寒気のなかを死の収容所に歩いていく間もこの講義のことを想像しつ づけた。めざましいまでに明晰な講義をおえてスタンディングオベーションをうけな がら講義をおえるさまを想像しながら、狭いベッドに、倒れこんだ。 死の収容所:ナチス支配下のユダヤ人収容所

そこでは、彼は、地面に横たわり、先へ進める状態ではありませんでした、すると突然、彼は、もはやポーランドにはいないで、その代わりに、彼は、戦後のウィーンの舞台に立って、「絶滅収容所の心理学」について講演を行っている自分自身の姿を想像していることに気付きました。200名の聴衆は、彼の一言一句に耳を傾けていました。その講演は、彼が絶滅収容所にいた全期間を彼が分析してきたものでした。彼は、どの様にして心理学的にまた情緒的にその体験を他の人よりもうまく生き延びる様に思われる人々がいるのかについて語りました。それは、素晴らしい講演でしたが、全ては、彼の心の目と耳の中で起こっていました。彼は、もはや地面に半死半生で横たわっているのではなくて、その講演の中で生きていました。講演の間、フランクルは、想像上の聴衆に彼が打ちのめされて地面に横たわり、自分に起き上がって歩き続ける力があるか確信が持てなかったあの日のことについて語りました。 すると、とりわけ驚くべきことに、彼は、想像上の聴衆に自分は立ちあがれると語りました。警備は、彼をたたくのをやめました、それで、彼は、立ち上がりゆっくりと歩き出しました。彼は、作業をして、寒さの中を絶滅収容所に行進して戻る間中ずっと、この講演について想像し続けました。彼は、狭いベッドに崩れるように倒れ込み、この素晴らしく明晰な演説を終え、聴衆が立ちあがって喝さいするのを受け止めている自身の姿を想像していました。

    A turn in the wheel of fortune came for Machiavelli. With Spain's assistance, the Medicis overthrew the republic and restored their rule in Florence.Machiavelli was discharged, imprisoned,tortured, and finally banished to his small country estate near San Cascano. There, except for brief periods, he remained in retirement untill his death in 1527. His principal pastime during those, to him,long dull years was writing: The Prince, The Discourses,The Art of War,and the History of Florence-all primarily concerned with politics, ancient and contemporary. Any sentiment in Machiavelli's nature in relation to public affairs is hard to detect, but on one matter he felt deeply. He was a genuine patriot with an ardent longing for a strong, united Italy. He might be a cold, skeptical observer, a cynical man of pure intellect, untill he discussed Italian unity, and then he became inspired with passion, eloquence, warmth, and life. Italy's condition in the early, sixteen century was sad enough to make any patriot weep.

    I have given all these details in order to show what privileges and protection an inventor enjoys when,like Edison,he conducts organized research for a strong company.He has everything at his disposal and can devote himself,without worry, his work.If he is successful,he gets his liberal share and has no expence.Edison had stuck to the stocks received from the Edison companies for his work he would, no doubt,have been the largest sharer in electric lighting interests in the country. But Edison wasn't after money solely.No! He considered it a means of exchange and in that spirit turned it into new activities,new endeavors and new lines of experiment.It was important that he should do so:otherwise history might have had a different course.He didn't wait in leisurely luxury until his electric light shares should grow fat with returns,but from the start took all the money he could raise to his place his great achievements upon a solid commercial foundation under his personal supervision.That was necessary considering the epoch.With him it was push,push,and push again,and with the help of loyal servants the gigantic results of his Menlo Park labors were soon safely set on a manufacturing foundation;in a few years they were fortitled to an impregnable strength.Then the time arrived for others to carry his work of expansion further-this,however,only after a decennium,In 1892 the General Electric Company took up his program of expansion and has been developing it ever since.

    Before his tragic death, most people had not known much about what he had done for the people of Latin America. But now people everywhere were deeply moved by his braveand humanitarian actions. In Latin America and the United States, a great number of people paid their last respects to this real hero. In 1973, many events took place in honor of Roberto. He became the first Latin America to be elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Pirates retired Roberto's number 21. That means no other Pirates player would ever wear that number. Major League Baseball honored him by setting up the "Roberto Clemente Award," the highest award in baseball for sportsmanship and devotion to people in need. "He was such a great inspiration to the young and to all in baseball, and above all, to the proud people of his homeland, Puerto Rico."

     I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces. A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well, with a roll of money clamped tightly in her little hand. When she came upon a Barbie she liked, she would turn and ask her father if she had enough money to buy it. He usually said "yes," but she would keep looking and keep going through their ritual of "do I have enough?"  As she was looking, a little boy wandered in across the aisle and started sorting through the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly, but in clothes that were obviously rather worn, and wearing a jacket that was probably a couple of sizes too small. He too had money in his hand, but it looked to be no more than five dollars or so at the most. He was with his father as well, and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head,"no".

     Once, an elderly man consulted me because of his severe depression. He could not overcome the loss of his wife who had died two years before and whom he had loved above all else. Now how could I help him? Well, I refrained from telling him anything, but instead confronted him with a question, "What would have happened if you had died first, and your wife would have had to survive you?:" "Oh," he said, "for her this would have been terrible; how she would have suffered!" "You see," I replied, " such a suffering has been spared her, and you have spared her this suffering - to be sure, at the price that now you have to survive and mourn her." He said no word but shook my hand and calmly left my office. In some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.  Of course, this was no treatment in the proper sense since, first, his despair was no disease, and second, I could not change his attitude toward his unchangeable fate because from that time on he could at least see a meaning in his suffering. Our main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in our life. That is why we are even ready to suffer, on the condition, to be sure, that our suffering has a meaning.
