Albert Camus(New Quote for Today)

I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.

Michael ... my 'meaning structure' loved that last sentence when she read it ... made her chuckle - thanks.

Dorothy Rowe talks about mental issues when something happens to challenge our 'meaning structure' - some can only maintain integrity by suicide, for example - others will retreat into depression .... change takes courage ... well I think that's what she's going on about (my meaning structure has limited capacity).
