Viktor Frankl was a holocaust survivor who learned many things during his detention. "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offered sufficient proof that everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Viktor realized that you always have a choice.
The highest value of all is to choose your attitude in situations over which you have no control. In between something happening to you and the way you react there is a space. In this space there is choice. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and hapiness.
