Two

I woke up late today, then went through some piles of papers in my bedroom and threw away anything that I would not need to prove anything. For example, the papers for when I had point surcharges on my driver's license. That was paid off three years ago, so it's safe to say I can discard that chapter.

One

A journey of a thousand miles begins a single step.
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
 
Hello. My name is Dan, and here is the first entry in my blog.

A big theme on this blog will be my search for meaning. One of my Jewish heroes is Dr. Viktor Frankl, the Austrian psychiatrist who endured three years in a Nazi concentration camp and emerged to write Man's Search for Meaning, the book that defined logotherapy.

Logotherapy

I find this approach to life sensible. Whether one succeeds or not, one must find greater meaning. Otherwise the successes will seem hollow.
