“But knowing that he has devoted his life to a purpose that might save other families the same terrible fate he visited upon his own? To me that is far more justice than most victims ever receive.”

Here’s where the author fails to employ careful thinking. If this guy is teaching mainstream psychology, then he’s teaching nihilism.

The same nihilism that led directly to the ideology of the Third Reich and their death chambers at Auschwitz and the others. The same nihilism that feeds communism, fascism and all murderous ideologies.

I take it when you write ‘nihilism’ you mean that there is no objective truth and absolute of good or evil. I remember a professor of history saying that what ever individuals do the teaching of history is there is neither good nor evil among states and societies and only winners and either losers or the annihilated.
