“We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.” – Aristotle

I was reading an article that posed the question “If you could live  10 years of your life without pain, living in total bliss but you wouldn’t remember a thing- would you do it?”

I would opt not to as I think the experiences we go through, painful or not create our story. Each of those experiences contribute to the person we are. According to Aristotle true happiness comes from gaining insight and growing into the best person your can be. Otherwise you are only creating instances of instant gratification, which dont last and don’t contribute to your growth.

What do you think?
