Nothing is ever completely beneficial.

Rebuttals"With the ice-cream issue, here is another interesting point. Why is ice-cream bad? It is unhealthy. Why? Lot's of fat ad sugar. Why is that bad you ask? It damages the body. What is wrong with that? You can be ill, die or face painful retribution. What is wrong with that? In itself, nothing. The only reason it is viewed that way is the popular mentality. If the boy did not worry or care about death, falling ill or receiving painful retribution. Then whether it is healthy or not does not matter. I do not want to go into this philosophical debate, but when I said it was subjective, I meant it. Because nothing is really objective. I would not eat ice-cream absurdly, simply because I accept the popular mentality that it is bad for you, but the popular mentality is generated by strings of subjectivity. It is in the interests of mankind, but implying the interests are all the same, is implying we all have the same perceptual set, which isn't true. If the boy loved healthy, and to him dying and pain and the punishment with ice-cream wasn't bad, then there is nothing but benefit for him. To someone else, there might be a downside, but as I argued, benefit is only a subjective matter and must be placed on such a threshold. So from the boy's perspective, he has nothing but benefit. He dies, and what? " There is wrong in that. Unhealthiness can lead to illness as we explained, and lot's of sugar and possibly death etc. Because of such, it is bad. This cannot be subjective. The human body strives for survival. "And most importantly, survival is a state of mind." [1] So in such a case, it is fact that a human want's to survive. It is not, and never will be a subjective manner. Though someone may think death is nothing, it is human nature to think otherwise. Since everything can lead to death, and the desperation for survival is not subjective, nothing is ever completly beneficial."I do admit faults in my example, but let me modify it to someone who simply does not care. He is the ultimate nihilist and does not give a single care into whether he is anxious, stressed, whether he fails or not. He does enjoy things, but does not care till the point where he is never anxious or stressed. He could fail, but so what? Failure has negative connotations bought on by the popular mentality, but it isn't neccesarily an objective truth that failure is wrong. His life might be messed up from the perspective of another, but to him it isn't what is true is that he is having fun doing this task. Thus, only benefit." First of all, failure can lead to depression. Depression can lead to illeness, and death, which I have already proved is not good by fact to humans. Having the risk of depression is in itself already a bad side. Since there is now a downside established, and much more unmentioned, such a case is not completly beneficial, nor is any other case."The definition is then an entire profit/advantage gained from something. You did not doubt that the advantage isn't subjective, and enitre simply means, "With no part left out; whole" Exatcly no part left out. So for it to be completly beneficial, it would have to have nothing but a good side. So if there was some how a neutral side to it, it would be unable to be comepletly beneficial."So everything about something must gain profit, which is subjective. So in the case of the nihilist, the situation was the homework and the small bubble around it. As the fact that he did not care meant that any possible failure wasn't bad, it only coincided with his beliefs, so that is a positive. As any possible failures, which he did not view as bad, weren't then even failures, he is simply left with the enjoyment from that work. Nothing but enjoyment. Yes, anything could have suddenly went wrong and killed him, but excusing the fact that he doesn't mind, that isn't relating to the homework, so is not part of his fulfillment, of complete happiness. Thank you."In the case of the nihilist, he is having too much fun. Having too much fun can lead to ignorance of all the down sides we need to change in life, which is a down side. Also having too much fun can lead to death, which is bad objectively, as I have proven. In conclusion, nothing is ever completly beneficial as I have proven. Since anything can lead to death, and death is objectively wrong, or bad, nothing can have complete good sides. Your welcom.Source(s):1.http://www.backcountryattitude.com...
