Irvin D. Yalom Quote

Simtindu-ne neajutorati si derutati in fata aleatorului, a evenimentelor fara nici un tipar aparent, cautam sa le ordonam si, prin aceasta, sa avem senzatia ca le controlam. Chiar mai important decat atat, intelesul da nastere valorilor si, mai departe, unui cod de comportament – astfel, raspunsurile la intrebarile despre de ce (de ce traiesc?) furnizeaza un raspuns la intrebarile despre cum (cum sa traiesc?).
