Experience relative?

Mescalito · 01-12-2010, 02:35 AM

Do you think we need bad experiences to have the good experiences. and visa versa? or is there such a thing.. or potential for.. only one kind of experience. I guess i'm asking.. is it relative...?

Also if you could choose one emotion to have for the rest of your life... what would it be?

i don't think we need to experience both bad and good things. bad and good are themselves relative, all we do is experience. if you meet the experience in creative ways it can go anywhere you imagine

i think i'd go with the feeling of just getting home on a friday night with my family, a sack of weed and no plans.

yes, often we base our perception of new experiences on our past ones....good and bad, and all the shades of gray in between.
