    In focusing on the "everything can be taken from a man" addresses more the tangibles; and / while, "chose one's attitudes" deals with the things not seen.

    A great quote from a great man.

    This is mentally disordered, the usual conventional diversionary complication.  Mr Frankl is manufacturing the ole "diverse" construct in the my(childish) way syndrome, "and did it my way." I bet he had every Frank Sinatra Album.   Life is not that complicated as the children like to childishly assemble it. 
    There is two choices in the given circumstances, the wrong way, and the correct choice.
