Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Boris Pasternack’s work, Dr. Zhivago.
“And remember: you must never, under any circumstances, despair. To hope and to act, these are our duties in misfortune.”
Note: We all face misfortune at times. It comes with living. How we respond to it sets a stamp on our character. Viktor Frankl in Man’s Search for Meaning said we always have the freedom to choose the attitude we take toward our circumstances. Boris Pasternack encourages us to never despair or allowing ourselves to fall into the black pit. Instead, hope is the antidote to despair. Yes, tomorrow will better than today. Believe good things are coming your way. If you’re awake, you’ll catch them.
