Any grandparent can tell you the power of love and how that gives meaning to their lives. Just looking around at all the happy grandchildren at a family gathering can give one a beautiful feeling of meaning to your life. Others may find meaning in their work helping people. I don’t think I would be very content or happy if I believed there was no meaning to life. Just my thoughts.

In terms of the Holocaust, I regularly wonder about stuff people find to complain about and how evil mindless HATE is and can be. Imagine what happened. A society motivated by HATE. By we are good they are evil and if you don't think so we will kill you. Oh, our first amendment freedom of speech. Does not say only if you agree with us.
In High School by best friend's parents were Holocaust survivors. His dad only spoke about it once. As young kid he went to a Hitler speech he too was drawn into the MOB hate. It wasn't till the trip home, freed from the mass hypnosis that he realized it is ME they HATE.
Villagers are as a group better educated than most, more prosperous then most sadly too often we hear we are good they are evil.
