Q #4
If you could spend one year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience would you do so?
If not, why not?
Bonus Q ... Which is more important: Actual Experiences? or the Memories that remain when the experiences are over?

Well to the bonus question I say, you cannot have one without the other unless you are into memory implants.
In answering the first question, I would say NO. Because it is memory that helps you recall the happy times when the times aren't so happy, a very valueable thing to us all.
Q1: NO!
Q2: The memories is what gets us through all the tough times. Also, without sadness how do we measure happiness. Without sorrow, how do we know the depth of our joy. Life is a balancing act and while the GOOD is great, the not so good keeps us grounded.
Q3: Oh, I think the memories are what makes the actual experiences so much better. For example: As time passes you forget that it rained the whole time you were at the beach, but you will always remember playing pictionary with your parents and your Mom having uncontrollable giggles to the point that your Dad gave up trying to draw an umbrella.
I would want both - enjoy the experience and enjoy the memories.
idk tHAT IS HARD CAUSE U WOULD WANT TO BE HAPPY THEN BUT WOULD U WANT THE MEORIES ...... YES U WOULD OR I WOULD
