Summary

This quote reflects the balance between personal desires and responsibilities. It suggests that while it is natural for a shepherd, or an individual, to have a desire for exploration and adventure, they must always prioritize their duties and obligations. Just as a shepherd must consistently care for and protect their sheep, individuals must consider their responsibilities and not let their personal interests overshadow them. It serves as a reminder to always stay mindful of one's obligations and to never lose sight of the important tasks that need attention.

Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

As each situation in life represents a challenge to man and

As each situation in life represents a challenge to man and presents a problem for him to solve, the question of the meaning of life may actually be reversed. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. Thus, logotherapy sees in responsibleness the very essence of human existence.
