I remember reading a story from WWII. The allies bombed a city and the germans made the pows clean up the rubble. The germans then made them move the rubble a second time but this time almost half of the pows died.

Why? there was no point in moving the rubble the second time. There was no purpose in work and thus no purpose in life.

The moral of the story. Moving rubble will kill you.

I see it as just the opposite. The story I heard was in the concentration camp.

If I’m in that camp and I’m moving rubble it’s good. It means I have a purpose, at least for now.

It’s when they don’t need you to move rubble that you’re in trouble.
