If you had the choice to experience......?

Question

all the pain you will endure during your lifetime consecutively for so many years and then the rest of your years would be peaceful and painless.......would you opt to take this onslaught of pain all at once for so many years/decades so as to get it out of the way?.........and/or......would you choose to endure it later so you can have a good life when you are younger? what period of life would you endure the pain years?

this question is under the assumption that you live a long life, like into the 80s.

also, when I speak of pain, I mean all types....emotional, physical, spiritual, etc.

Answer 1

The time of life when you will remember pain the least is in early childhood. The problem being, would you grow any older if you had to endure all that pain at such a young age...

Answer 2

No, I wouldn't want to. And I'll give you a good reason:

Life is very unpredicatable. Everyone, no matter who they are, is lacking something in their life, regardless of whether it is personal or public.

Second, I don't think it is in keeping with the laws of the world in avoiding death or pain. Can anyone honestly say, "I never (will) die (d), or "I will never experience any pain", be it emotional, physical, etc."

I would want my life to take it's course, and at the same time strive to follow the principles I hold myself so dearly too. I believe life isn't a game; everyone has a purpose.

hope this helps!

Answer 3

if all that pain came at once, where is the garuntee i would actually survive it? i mean, i dont think we are physicly capable of experiencing that much pain at once. however, assuming that for the sake of this question that we are, what happens down the road? lets say a close friend of mine dies. what do i feel at that time? surely im not going to feel happy about it? what is going to replace that pain? or am i just going to get stuck in some sort of hazy bubble? there are so many loopholes in the situation. i know that i wouldnt want to experience it later in life, because i dont know that i could handle it all later. like, if you lived to be 100, you would have to deal with all sorts of stuff, all at once, and surely it would be just too much to take on.

Answer 4

Always later of course because you could either die before all that or self terminate when you wanted to.
