Neither Callicles/Nietzsche nor Socrates is right.
It is not self control nor absolute fulfillment of one's pleasures that will give us happiness nor pleasure.
To Socrates: We live in a material world to deny that is to deny our life and the living we do amongst the vast material life amongst us.
To Nietzsche: We all recognize the ability to empathize with one another. The ability to be in contact with another human being confirms our faith that their is something incredible and meta about the human condition. Even if it is just our imagination. It may very well be our imagination that links us together.
So I Ask to live in both the Material and Meta World. To search in the material sense for the desire that we most above all with to satiate and set upon ourselves all of our mental and physical energy upon it. But not in narrow way. I mean like Bill Murray's line in Lost In Translation " The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you" Happiness is a union between what it is mentally you are in the meta of your own imagination and what you want from this world. They work together not in spite of each other to bring happiness
