my question is why must life, or existence have meaning?

i argue Robert J. Shields Jr. though we do find joy through suffering we also find joy in our own ways to say that joy is suffering would be incorrect it is also in the atmosphere the people the anticipation joy is everywhere and we cannot experience it untill you have unknowingly given it to someone

Our joy comes at times of suffering for others and others know joy while we suffer so joy is pain/suffering. The only thing that changes is our perspective of the thing.

Awesome new debate. How can we know joy without knowing pain first. can we or can't we? are we or aren't we (knowing joy)? why or why not?

Ellie I would think that Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle,would knock the others for a loop. Nietzsche might take the younger of the other two out but would be taken down by the elder. I can never remember for sure who is older. oh wait wrong pair. lolz. plato would be beaten by Nietzsche MAYBE...we need a tardis for this one. lolz.

If you stuck Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle, Weil and Callicles in a room together and allowed them to debate it out, who would win in regards to Philosophy on the Good Life? (Obviously not Callicles!)

not to be picky, but there seem to be little debate in this debate room.

The way I understand: Math does not change. 1+1=2. But, what does that 1 stand for. One apple, One baseball, one cow. That the number stands for is always changing.

The same is true in the higher Math. (X-6)<7. What does the number stand for?
