摘要
The aim of this article is to present the meaning of life as finitistic and evaluative. Bearing in mind the specificity of the human subject, we have defined the meaning of life as the condition of the subject that results from implementing one's own, chosen (superior) aspiration, that is, intended well-being. Hope, a prospective emotion, is an important element in implementing this aspiration. When combined with other elements, the disappearance of hope leads to demoralization as understood in psychotherapy by Jerome D. Frank. The article also emphasizes the significance of spiritual strivings perceived as the sphere of the ultimate concern, whose aim is Transcendence. We discuss research results according to which, having transcendent goals (superior aspirations)- even though they take time and energy- is directly connected with one's sense of life.
