Is there more to life than pleasure?

Considering what truly qualifies as a life well-lived is a question humans have debated since the beginning of time. What is the meaning of life? How can we assure that we get the most out of our days? Philosophers such as Plato and Epicurus diverged in their answers to these questions.

While some posit that the main point of a good life is mainly to seek pleasure, others argue that there is more than that at the core of life such as leaving an impact, being virtuous, or finding meaning. Yet, there are many proven benefits to pleasure, such as its correlation with happiness and enjoyment. In a world with so much uncertainty, maybe all we can count on are the small pleasures that help us stay present.
