1. Frankl's and Wiesel's and experience were the same because they both cared deeply about their families.
2. it is possible to live a both a happy and meaningful life because you can be happy but not have a meaning to life and vise versa.
3. "Most importantly from a social perspective, the pursuit of happiness is associated with selfish behavior -- being, as mentioned, a "taker" rather than a "giver." The psychologists give an evolutionary explanation for this: happiness is about drive reduction. If you have a need or a desire -- like hunger -- you satisfy it, and that makes you happy. People become happy, in other words, when they get what they want. Humans, then, are not the only ones who can feel happy. Animals have needs and drives, too, and when those drives are satisfied, animals also feel happy, the researchers point out."   This stood out because some people don't belive animals have feelings (which isnt my belief at all). And the paragraphe prove that everyone, animal or human, has feelings.
