So we watched this movie called "The After Life." This was about what happens to people when they die. They have 6 days to choose a perfect memory so their soul can feel that sedative feeling for eternity.
But some people don't choose a memory. They don't want to choose to pretend their memory their whole life. Because they know that's not a life worth living. People fill their lives with drugs and meds to try to get a sense of serenity. But that's not true serenity. You can still have serenity throughout the tragedy of this world.
I would choose to not live a perfect moment. For what is beauty without pain? That isn't life. Life is not perfect and that's where we find beauty in it. Life is dirty, cruel, and full of temptations and pain. But a life worth living is finding the beauty through all this and still saying, "This is a life worth living." Our life doesn't have to be perfect. We can't choose our fatal end, but we can choose to be happy either way, therefore making it our happy ending.
That's an interesting point. Always living in one perfect moment really isn't much of a life. Besides not having any pain, it also doesn't have any adventure. To me that's a lot of life: adventuring.
