"The Sages taught, "For two and one half years the schools of Shammai and Hillel debated the following question:
The school of Shammai said, 'It would have been better for people to not have been created.'
The school of Hillel said, 'It is better that people have been created than not'." - Talmud, Eruvin
What do you think? And why were they debating the point?
