Only when we are centered on the deep sense of existence, or better, only when this deep and personal sense determines our own identity, can we go beyond, even to dark woods or sunlit meadows. We can face dangers, risks or enemies. Because the meaning of life is not given to us by the darkness or light of events, friends or enemies, but rather by how all of these are lived. Certainly, the surprises of life, the losses, the end of an important love relationship, betrayals, the death of loved ones, sickness, failure and aversity put our identities to the hard test. Often they put us in crisis, at times they breaks us, but always, if we have searched for the deep meaning of our existence, we go back to living.
