Logotheraphy Theory

This theory holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. This theory refers that *Life has a meaning under all circumstances. *People have a will to meaning. *People have freedom under all circumstances to activate the will to meaning and to find meaning.

Do I agree or disagree with this theory?

-By analyzing carefully the theory and consider my point of view of life, I agree with Frankl´s theory, because I consider too that everybody has a purpose of life. Everyone comes to earth because of something or someone. Everything has a meaning. Life itself has a meaning. According to my beliefs God creates humans with a purpose and each individual has its own purpose of life. Besides difficult situations life maintain a special meaning.

Frank himself shows us that besides all circumstance life has a meaning. That´s why we need to look for our life´s meaning, and we have the freedom of think and look forward to find the meaning.

If we find out our meaning of life then we are going to live better and society would change. If we live with a meaning then life itself would have a meaning.
