Galatians 5:22-23

▪According to St. Thomas Aquinas, each living thing has a soul and that physical self is not the end

▪ In Hinduism, the atman (“breath,” or “soul”) is the universal, eternal self, of which each individual soul (jiva or jiva-atman) partakes. The jiva-atman is eternal but is imprisoned in an earthly body at birth and death will liberate it into a new existence assessed by the judgement of karma.

▪Buddhism negates the concept of the individual self and the atman, asserting that any sense of having an individual eternal soul or of partaking in a persistent universal self is illusory

▪ In Islam, they believe that the soul existed at the same time as the body but that it will survive bodily death which will then have a life of its own

▪ Viktor Frakl – a psychiatrist who was imprisoned for three years in a concentration camp during World War II

▪ According to him, the main motivation why men continue to live is the will to meaning

▪ This meaning is unique for every individual and it gives a task that only an individual alone can do at a given moment

▪ He came up with a psychology on survival that helped him endure his experience called Logotherapy

▪ According to Logotherapy, we can discover this meaning in life in three different ways:

1. By creating a work or doing a deed

2. By experiencing something or encountering someone

3. By the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering
