Fate as task. Good life as the art of settling in

In the modern era fate is viewed merely as that which should not be. As an after-effect of an excessive feasibility thinking it is sometimes suggested that man could be totally freed from fate by taking everything under his own power of control. And yet man overlooks that he is inevitably experiencer and, therefore, always imprinted by that which befalls him. And he overlooks that fate as the entirety of the given still determines the whole of life and that the freedom of man will only be possible in the first place in view of the given. In order to help people in crisis situations it is important to think about the fluid boundary between the active gestalt and the assumption of the given and to realize that without the basic setting of the assumption of the given and without acquisition of the readiness to adapt oneself within the given, a good life will not be possible.
