Is it more important to enjoy an event at the time or to remember it is a good event?
Quite often one will follow from the other, but I've definitely had times where the majority of the event was poor but for whatever reason I wake up the next morning feeling I've had a good time. So what do you guys think?
It also works the other way. If you have a bad moment, it can leave a memory that you don't particularly want, sometimes even leaving emotional scars. In this instance, I'd rather just have the bad moment than the bad memory.
Alternatively, I definitely prefer the moments themselves, as the memory usually reminds me of something dumb I did directly afterwards!
I used to like to look back on good times and I still do but I tended to find I was living in the past a lot which is gone and now I like to live in the present but look to the future at times for upcoming good events to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down at times.
I do still like to look back on past events but the difference between now and a few years ago is I only look back on good events and if I find myself thinking about a bad past event such as an exam failure I put it straight out of my mind as they only cause unnecessary bad feelings and emotions which serve you no good purpose what so ever.
