debacle, and slaughter 'reign' down--
when the ocean of darkness
seems endless and abyss'd,
of the psychologist Victor Frankl who lived at Auschwitz:
The wonder of being human, of being consciously aware, of experiencing
and living in the transcendent, of seeking the good,
of sensing the 'ought' of every ethical truth
is that each of us understands
(except for determinists of course)
that every human, everyone of us, all of us--
no matter how difficult our troubled life path,
no matter what our difficult circumstances,
no matter our weeping heartache,
no matter how chasmic deep our tragedy--
we are free to choose alternatives in the very midst of the evils,
to reject the horrific wrongs,
to song hope and justice,
to turn toward the Light,
to reach out to others and empathize,
to act compassionate,
and
to care
hell
down
and
out.
"I am not...my circumstances, I am...my decisions."
Educator Stephen Covey
"Any person, regardless of the circumstances, can decide what shall become of them--mentally and spiritually.
Victor Frankl
"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."
Psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl G. Jung
Let us choose each moment.
In the Light,
Daniel Wilcox
