"...allows one to examine thoughts
from one's mind to find patterns and links."
Dumbledore’s Pensieve Viktor Frankl
For the meaning of life differs from man to man,
from day to day and from hour to hour.
What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of
life in general but rather the specific meaning of
a person's life at a given moment.
Not enough to have an experience,
Meaning must be re-evaluated
one must stop to examine it. from time to time.
