We are not guilty, but we are liable in the recovery process, and it is in accepting responsibility for restoring health that we find our greatest happiness and meaning in life.
One of the greatest writers on the meaning of human existence is the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. His theories were galvanized as he battled between life and death every day in Nazi concentration camps. Ultimately, he chose to say yes to life and miraculously survived the ordeal.
We live in a very sick world. People have done great damage to one another and to the planet we live on. Most of us were not yet born when much of the damage took place, or when the institutions doing the damage were established. I am not alone in this way of thinking. Many forget that it was once acceptable for churches to own people. The Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, still run Georgetown University in Washington DC. The Jesuits owned enslaved human beings in the 1800s and then sold them to pay off the school’s debt.
We are not responsible for the actions of our ancestors, and few of us have archives that we can research like Richard Drax or the Jesuits. In addition, few of us have benefited financially from the actions of our ancestors to the same degree.
