Adlerian psychology is a form of thought, a philosophy that is diametrically opposed to nihilism.
We are not controlled by emotion. In this sense, while it shows that people are not controlled by emotion,
additionally it shows that we are not controlled by the past.
YOUTH: So people are not controlled either by emotion or the past?
PHILOSOPHER: Okay, for example, suppose there is someone whose parents had divorced in his past.
Isn’t this something objective, the same as the well water that is always sixty degrees?
But then, does that divorce feel cold or does it feel warm? So this is a “now” thing, a subjective thing.
Regardless of what may have happened in the past, it is the meaning that is attributed to it that determines the way someone’s present will be.
YOUTH: The question isn’t “What happened?” but “How was it resolved?”
PHILOSOPHER: Exactly. We can’t go back to the past in a time machine. We can’t turn back the hands of time.
If you end up staying in etiology, you will be bound by the past and never be able to find happiness.
YOUTH: That’s right! We can’t change the past, and that’s precisely why life is so hard.
