Do You Know What a Positive or Negative Experience Is?

We don't actually know what a positive or negative experience is. Some of the most difficult and stressful moments of our lives also end up being the most formative and motivating. Don't trust your conception of positive and negative experiences. Just as we look back in horror at the lives of people 500 years ago, I imagine people 500 years from now will laugh at us and our certainties today. And they, too, will be wrong. Just less wrong than we were.
