    Viktor Frankl’s book, “Mans Search for Meaning,” has an abundance of despair, loss, and chances to become bitter, however, Frankl turns those potential feelings around and makes them into an experience, one he can learn from. It is similar to the saying “learn from your mistakes.” Frankl experiences the worst of the worst, and he learns something magnificent. This is not a story about the horrible things that happened to him in the Nazi camp, but one about his search for meaning.…

    The patient looked as if he was only composed of skin and bone, almost skeleton-like. When I would walk into the room, he would have a somber expression and look miserable. He was upset that there was a chance he would not be able to attend his only daughter’s wedding in a few months. Throughout the next few months, I was able to watch him become healthier and healthier through the care of the nursing staff. I would watch the nurses build a personal relationship with this patient during his most vulnerable times and bring life back to him. When I first arrived on the floor, the patient would have difficulty walking around the floor, but now he was able to walk at a faster pace multiple times around the unit. He was no longer gloomy and had a smile on his face. All the nurses were elated with the progress of the patient, and he was able to attend his daughter’s wedding and dance with…

    Inventions have shaped the growth of civilization since the beginning of time, but can an invention actually do more harm than good? Who is at fault? Should those who came up with the ideas be to blame? In answer to the first question, yes. Take gunpowder as an example; gunpowder was first used in China for entertainment, such as fireworks (Pyro universe, History of fireworks). However, when the invention went into the wrong hands, it became a weapon, which made it do more harm than good. It is not those who came up with the idea who are to blame, it is the people that use it in a deleterious way in human society.…
