What have you personally found to be the greatest experience in life?

@WataruTenkawa_1
Fleeting moments of great, mass human synchronicity.

@WataruTenkawa_1 hesitating between the defense of my dissertation and becoming a grandmother...

OTHER: as in there has been no single thing that has been the greatest experience in life.

So many things on the list apply and things like "the inordinate amount of luck" required to find your soul mate (who happened to be half a world away), to find a "home" in a new town where friends are worthy of such titles, to live in a locale that satisfies virtually all the requirements for a healthy, happy life have been overlooked.

I agree it seems like a weird way to think.

All of the above producing the greatest experience should be a choice.

[qccechris@mastodon.social]

@WataruTenkawa_1 Can we define what it means to be greatest? so greatest experience has a meaningful connection to the response given.

Learning.

Sitting in a hammock in nature taking in all the sounds and smells.

@WataruTenkawa_1 Learning things, being outside

[konosocio@mastodon.online]

@WataruTenkawa_1 having experienced all that and finding yourself a more mature, experienced, different (but also the same) person on the other side of it.

@WataruTenkawa_1 To love and to be loved in return.

@WataruTenkawa_1 other: motorbikes. its like freedom/flight, great sex and great drugs all rolled into one. and i thoroughly tested all the other options as far as i could beforehand. terrifying and exhilarating ️

@WataruTenkawa_1

Being the center of attention for having done something right (instead of having done something wrong).

@WataruTenkawa_1 Music! Both listening and playing, the latter especially in a group.

@WataruTenkawa_1 Parent for me with the caveat that the payoff takes awhile.

[nlowell@zirk.us]

@WataruTenkawa_1

Growing old enough to recognize my early "triumphs" might have been mistakes, but soon enough that I have the opportunity to make them right.

[lancejz@mastodon.social]

@WataruTenkawa_1 I want to make a caveat, that great sex only comes with falling deeply in love with the person.

@WataruTenkawa_1

Reading my first book on my own.

Technically I guess it's "travel to far off places".

Physically is when I finished a bicycle tour from Mobile Bay to Niagara Falls.

[debby@hear-me.social]

@WataruTenkawa_1 @Jorsh @Lstn2urmama The greatest experience in life, for me, is the profound sense of intellectual joy that comes from solving a complex problem or gaining a deep understanding of a challenging subject.

@debby @WataruTenkawa_1 @Jorsh Good to see others are critical thinkers
