you couldn't handle the present, especially when it was that bad.
And so that's why he always quoted Nietzsche, which is when you have a why to live for, you can bear almost anyhow.
And so everything he did, and he literally, he layers it, and I share the best quotes of it in Future Self, but he says, you know, when you lose...
when you lose hope in your future, you know, you're doomed.
But he also said that everything we did in the concentration camps to give people hope or to even help them to be able to manage their mind or manage their emotions was we had to give to them a goal in their future, which they could work towards.
And he himself, you know, he literally stated the goal that gave him purpose.
and gave him meaning and allowed him to endure the trials.
And for him, it was he wanted to be reconnected with his wife, Tilly, who was taken to another camp.
He didn't know that she'd already been killed and she was pregnant with their baby, but he didn't know that.
He wanted to be reconnected with her, but also he wanted to rewrite his book.
which was almost done being written when they got basically taken by the Nazis and they took the manuscript and tore it apart.
And so he really wanted, he literally states this in Man's Search for Meaning.
He said, my deep desire to rewrite that book anew and publish it allowed me to overcome the rigors and the pain of the camps.
So when you have a why to live for, you can bear almost anyhow.
If you don't have a why to live for, if you don't have hope and commitment in your future,
then you're not gonna be very productive.
I mean, little things in your day can throw you way off, right?
But for him in those situations, it was life or death.
It's literally life or death.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
