For too long we have been dreaming a dream from which we are now waking up: the dream that if we just improve the socioeconomic

situation of people, everything will be okay, people will become happy. The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.

Answer:

Victor Frankl.

Explanation:

Victor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and also a Holocaust survivor. This Jewish psychotherapist said this quote-

<em>"For too long we have been dreaming a dream from which we are now waking up: the dream that if we just improve the socioeconomic situation of people, everything will be okay, people will become happy. The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for."</em>

This quote shows him questioning the meaning of one's life, why were are living and for what? He proposes that if atheism was true, then why are we living in this world? without a God, there is no real meaning in a man's life. But if the existence of God is real, then the whole meaning of living changes. Now, we are living for the God who created us "in his own image".
