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

@falcennial @WataruTenkawa_1 I got to play Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, Copland's Billy the Kid, and Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn, among others

@WataruTenkawa_1 Can't decide between friendship and food but those are probably the most important sources of joy for me (besides reading and gaming)

[rollotreadway@beige.party]

@WataruTenkawa_1 Great food, whilst travelling.

[rowinspeez@mas.to]

@WataruTenkawa_1 I’m gonna give a shout out to Luxurious restful sleep, Achieving long-term plans, and Experiencing breakthroughs in personal growth.

@WataruTenkawa_1 Doing mushrooms once.
The other thing that came to mind is playing videogames, but that's more of an ongoing form of great experiences. And so are reading books.

@WataruTenkawa_1 Seeing a ray of light (literally) at a very difficult point in life that made me decide to go on.

[watarutenkawa_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@Colman Maybe, but the trends so far are interesting

[discobeez@mas.to]

@WataruTenkawa_1 I think it changes all through life. While they're small, having children is probably the hardest thing I've ever done. A few years later, I can see how I might someday think of it as the greatest.

@WataruTenkawa_1 Shedding ego (or at least attempting to do so)

[hypostase@bsd.network]

@WataruTenkawa_1 That moment when you’ve parried, countered, or voided the incoming blade, in such a way that your touch is inevitable, as the universe hold still for it.

Can also happen with the ocean, the mountain, and/or the stars.

[jayalane@mastodon.online]

@WataruTenkawa_1 @Colman maybe but I find a mind set of trying to rank order experiences deflates the experience and causes me to miss the juicy core of the experience. Still an interesting survey.

[irisfreundin@troet.cafe]

@WataruTenkawa_1 Becoming so old as I am unexpectedly.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@WataruTenkawa_1 I can't remember. I think I've experienced all of these things, but they've all been taken away as well. I am ambivalent towards life.

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@WataruTenkawa_1 Hanging out and enjoying great food and drink with good friends.

Hey don't look at me like that, I'm an Epicurean. Please don't make me choose.

[magpieluvseeds@mastodon.social]

@WataruTenkawa_1 working really hard at a difficult thing and seeing yourself improve.

Also, helping someone grasp a concept or learn a skill and seeing the pride on their face when they “get it”

@WataruTenkawa_1
Fleeting moments of great, mass human synchronicity.

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