2. I can choose to believe that the people who go through such atrocities chose it to make them stronger, and hopefully learn something.

I get the point you're trying to make and I can see why you chose to believe this.
But I can't. Especially since not everyone who goes through such atrocities a. survives and b. is stronger/wiser afterwards. This may be the case for some, but most will be more or less 'damaged'. A lot of people who had to endure this also tend to act later like this on others (consciously or subconsciously).
For me a theory has to be valid, or make sense, for everyone and every situation. And not just for isolated cases. That's also why I cannot believe in any of the religions. Ok, they're ways to cope with the craziness and the injustices of Life, but they don't answer everything in a coherent way. At least not for me.
But don't get me wrong: I wish that Life was more simple and more beautiful for everyone. I don't hate Life or the people. As for this forum: Consider me the Devil's advocate in here against whom you can sharpen your theories!
