It contains a brief spoken reflection/monologue (single speaker labeled SPEAKER A) in which the speaker quotes Viktor Frankl and discusses using meaning and purpose to evaluate how they spend time and to cope with perceived injustices or setbacks.
Viktor Frankl said, the meaning of life is to give life meaning. I remind myself of this on the days when I'm chasing some arbitrary goal or being upset about something that is happening to me that I feel is a huge injustice. And so I think about this quote and I say, well, is it meaningful what I'm spending my time doing? Does it give me meaning? Does it give me a purpose? And if the answer is yes, then I don't worry about all the other stuff and I just keep going.
