Would you rather:
A. Have every hope and dream you've ever had come true and experience pure joy and happiness for 10 years but then go back to normal and have all memories of this experience erased from your brain?
or
B. Have no such experience but have memories of such an event implanted in your brain of which you'll be able to keep until you die?

A. I'd just purchase a video camera and record everything to remind myself thereby getting the best of both worlds... philosophy is better if you cheat.

The same is true of both!
In Scripture, there is mention that "all the former things have passed away". So, you wont remember what this life was.
It also mentions how in the beginning, the world was being made to be "replenished"... .as if it had been at one time... Plentiful!!
seeing as the beginning started off with in a "void" and destroyed status... the earth was here.... the surface of the deep, or rather, the masses of water were already here.... Something happened to this place......
With these things in mind, the earth could have been destroyed any number of times, and we'd never know it, because, as it states: "The former things are no more remembered".........
If dreams dictate that experience is needed..... Or as Ecclestiastes states: "Dreams come through a multitude of business"... or rather, experience. Then, we'd need to have some kind of memory of it, to know how to process our knowledge of it.......
Otherwise, it does not exist........

Neither are appealing to me.
To frequently access memories of joy and happiness (nostalgia) is to be very unhappy with life as it is.
So and A and B are pretty much equal in my view. Both result in the suffering. The longing for what one had (in reality or in memory).

I would pic A.
what's the point of having memories if you didn't even experience them.......then you would be remembering a lie.....I would rather physically feel the joy for 10 years....than to just simply remember something that I didn't even do.

B of course, because without the memory technically it didn't happen. Unless your caught on tape. (OUCH)
