Check out the book “man’s search for meaning”. It’s basically exactly what you are talking about written by a psychiatrist that was a prisoner in Auschwitz
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
I haven’t read that book since high school. Probably about time to read it again.
A stranger cuts off your arm. Choose to have a positive attitude to that. Get therapy. Decide it was really for the best after all. Enjoy your delusions. Is it a really a choice? Or is deluding yourself the only way you can live with it? I’m starting to think it all boils down to ‘suppress all negative feelings and tell yourself everything is fine’.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Nah they’ll take that too through years of k9 indoctrination and brainwash television
