Why reading this?

When waiting to see my orthopaedics doctor today, I pulled out Frankl's book to do some casual reading...

At the end of our appointment, after we spoke of the annoying pains and spasms, I asked this question again...

"Why do my back and legs still get tightened up? Why do I still have to stop?"

"You have disc herniation." He, again, replied.

"When do I have to stop stopping?"

"Hopefully the disk will eventually shrink."

Then, the doctor saw the book and asked what I was reading...

I showed him the cover.... "Man's search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl.

He must have asked something like... "why do you read this?"

"Because I can't see the meaning of me stopping." I replied.
