Necessary Philosophy: Common Sense Purpose

Does anything matter?

Is there a difference between committing suicide or living. Let us consider what the differences could possibly be.

Faith

We will start with the cheat code, if a god exists and he tells you if you do “x” I will send you to hell forever than under no circumstance should you do “x”. This changes the difference between suicide and life the difference between eternal heaven and eternal punishment. Let us consider the truth offered in this. That eternal pain is bad.

A Logical Continuation for an Agnostic

Pain exists in varying degrees. From extremely painful, the sort which experienced for eternity anyone can assert is bad, to grazing ones knee. From henceforth I will use to words;

                Pain: to describe the extremely painful experiences which all humans would be united in saying are bad.

                Negative experience: any other negative emotion

Now let us consider the opposite of both pain and negative emotion.

                Euphoric Joy: to describe an extremely joyous experience which all humans would be united in saying are desirable.

                Positive experience: any other positive emotion

Meaning

 We can all agree there are extremes of experience that are desirable and not desirable. This is an objective truth of the human plight. Therefore, we now have something meaningful, it is objective and it is worth having. We have gained a direction, hence forth life can be continued looking for these Euphoric Joys and avoiding Pain. Now that we have a reason to live we can also say that obviously I would rather have positive experiences between my Euphoric Joys rather than negative experiences.

Refutation

To undermine my objective truth one must assert that Pain (the type that is extremely painful which all humans would be united in saying is bad) isn’t actually bad or that its opposite, Euphoric Joy doesn’t exist.
