You face the existential dilemma. At first, it is frightening, almost overwhelming. Then, when we face the face that we all die and that is all there is, and that there is no inherent meaning in our lives, the fact is freeing, even exhilarating. It means that this life is all that we have, and we would do well to both enjoy it and do the most we can with it. It gives us the freedom to choose our own courses of action and make our own decisions -- to construct our own meaning. But, that carries with it responsibility for those choices and actions, for we could always have chosen otherwise. That is the heart of existential philosophy.

First, with multiple activities going on, deadlines were always impinging. Also, when I go a "big idea" for a new program, the image of that completed and functioning program drove me -- and I would work 60 to 80 hour weeks, 6 to 7 days a week until I had it up and going.

There ae huge differences between Germy in the early 1930s and the USA today. Germany had lost WWI and was saddled with huge reparations. Those reparations bankrupted their economy and resulted in hyperinflation like we have never see before -- so bad that it took a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a box of matches. It wiped out the German middle class and resulted in the fall of the fledging democratic government of the Weimar Republic. Then the worldwide Great Depression. German was in absolute chaos. That chaos and the resentment of how the reparations had ruined their economy led suffering Germans to look to a strong leader who appeared to offer a way out. We have no such conditions here, but if Trump stays in power, we may have in the future.
