Brief conversations with hideous men5/27/2023 Think about being degraded and brought within an inch of your life, for example. Now think about it, if there was no Holocaust, there’d be no Man’s Search for Meaning…. It’s about his experience in the human dark side. But did you read Viktor Frankl? Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning? It’s a great, great book, but it comes out of his experience. Does anybody think it was good that it happened? No, of course not. What about afterwards? All I’m saying is there are certain cases where it can enlarge you or make you more of a complete human being, like Viktor Frankl. Why are women so special? Not that anybody ought to be raped or abused, nobody’s saying that, but that’s what is going on. Everybody gets hurt and violated and broken sometimes. Having a knee-jerk attitude to anything is a mistake, especially in the case of women, where it adds up to this very limited and condescending thing of saying they’re fragile, breakable things that can be destroyed easily. “Who are we to say getting incested or abused or violated or any of those things can’t have their positive aspects in the long run? … You have to be careful of taking a knee-jerk attitude.
