“When a man finds that it is his destiny to suffer, he will have to accept his suffering as his task.... He will have to acknowledge the fact that even in suffering he is unique and alone in the universe. No one can relieve him of his suffering or suffer in his place. His unique opportunity lies in the way in which he bears his burden..” -- Viktor E. Frankl.

Hello, Immer Allein. Have you read Dr. Frankl's book,
Man's Search for Meaning? If not, the survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp may inspire you. Particularly note:
But let me make it perfectly clear that in no way is suffering necessary to find meaning. I only insist that meaning is possible even in spite of suffering--provided, certainly, that the suffering is unavoidable. If it were avoidable, however, the meaningful thing to do would be to remove its cause, be it psychological, biological or political...
I wish you well.
