Our Power to Choose
Viktor Frankl wrote in Man’s Search for Meaning, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
The famed psychiatrist added: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -
我们选择的力量
维克多·弗兰克尔在《活出意义来》中写道:“人的一切都可以被夺去,唯独一件事不能被夺去:最后的人类自由——在任何特定情况下选择自己的态度,选择自己的道路。”
这位著名的精神科医生补充道:”在刺激与反应之间有一个空隙。在这个空隙中,我们拥有选择自己反应的力量。在我们的反应中存在我们的成长和自由。”
