All humans search for a sense of significance and purpose in life. We all can have an internally derived value system that does provide a meaningful life. We have to find our own values and not those imposed upon us. Many people perceive the world as meaningless. Meaningless in life leads to emptiness and hollowness, or a condition that Frankl called the existential vacuum.
People have to create their own meaning.
If we don't we may suffer from existential guilt which is a condition that grows out of a sense of incompleteness or a realization that we are not what we might have become. If we are not living authentically, we experience this guilt. Logotherapy is designed to help clients find a meaning in life. Finding meaning is a by-product of engagement, which is a commitment to creating, loving, working, and building. The modern person has the means to live, but often has no meaning to live for.
