COT: Iron Sharpen Iron … there’s more to the proverb. The process of iron sharpening iron difficult. This process creates sparks and at times can be brutal. Just like we make each other better, it’s not always an easy of comfortable process. Sometimes making one another better will create friction and sparks might fly…get out there, make your fellow man better, and if needed get uncomfortable.

COT:
YHC was thinking about the meaning of life recently. Viktor Frankls’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a 200-page book detailing his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and it serves as a good place to start. In it, he describes identifying a purpose in life to feel positive about, and then immersively imagining that outcome.

During his experience in the camp, he found that the way a prisoner imagined the future affected his longevity. He concludes in the book that the meaning of life is found in every moment of living. Life never ceases to have meaning, even in suffering and death.

A story he relates in the book involves a group therapy session during a mass fast inflicted on the camp’s inmates trying to protect an anonymous fellow inmate from death by the authorities. Frankl offers the thought that for everyone in a dire condition there is someone looking down, a friend, family member, or even God, who would expect not to be disappointed. He concludes from his experience that a person’s psychological reactions are not solely the result of the conditions of his life, but also from the freedom of choice he always has even in severe suffering. The inner hold a person has on his spiritual self relies on having a hope in the future, and that once a person loses that hope, he is doomed.

So The meaning of life is not our question to ask. Instead it is we who are being asked the question. It is our lives that are the answer. No amount of travel or reading or clever sayings can tell you what you want to know. Instead it is you who must find the answer in your actions – by embodying the principles of justice, self control, courage, freedom, and abstaining from evil.

Aye!

COT: Continuing somewhat on Booking’s theme from Wednesday: Lean on this group. We’ve all got problems – this is a space where you can let your guard and posturing down and have honest conversations with your brothers. Support others and allow yourself to be supported. Personally, I lost my mom last month and the acknowledgement of those in this group and just being seen was tremendously helpful for me. Before that we had a terrible winter in our house full of illnesses and injuries and just being able to be here helped me. One of the hardest things to do is to admit a problem or a struggle and be vulnerable and allow yourself to be supported. Flip the script and allow yourself to be supported.
