Argument Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
““Life no argument. - We have arranged for ourselves a world in which we can live - by positing bodies, lines, planes, causes and effects, motion and rest, form and content; without these articles of faith nobody now could endure life. But that does not prove them. Life is no argument. The conditions of life might include error.””

Human existence is built on conceptual frameworks that give meaning, yet these are unproven beliefs that we accept to tolerate life, acknowledging possible errors.
In simple terms: We rely on untested ideas to make life bearable, but they may be flawed.
