Question

The Epicureans and the Stoics agree that the good life is determined by pleasure

and pain. Yet they disagree about the way we should quantify the balance of

pleasure and pain (sums or ratios), and also our ability to control those

pleasures/pains. Their ideas are the basis for our modern understanding of the

'good life', so which one seems to be the better system, and why?
