Maybe you want to read a bit of Viktor Frankl, Kranz. Just to learn how totally wrong you are in that statement - as far as that statement has any meaning, that is.
from wikipedia:
"
Viktor Emil Frankl,
M.D.,
Ph.D., (
March 26,
1905 -
September 2,
1997) was an
Austrian neurologist and
psychiatrist as well as a
Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of
logotherapy and
Existential Analysis, the "Third
Viennese School" of
psychotherapy. His book
Man's Search for Meaning (first published in 1946) chronicles his experiences as a
concentration camp inmate and describes his
psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in
existential therapy.
