What percentage of the time do I recognize my participation in meaning in my life? How often do I recognize my freedom to select a meaning for an input from a list instead of 'being a victim' who must assign one and only one meaning to an event?
If I could always be conscious of my freedom to choose, how would I handle an event that 'makes me' unhappy? Would I be responsible for my feelings? Where do I draw the line? How often do I use 'mono-meaning' as an excuse to interpret events--negatively or positively?
When I sum up my life, how free am I to choose its meaning?
