I could choose, I would rather not experience them. But, does that mean I should wish to get rid of the value (memory) now that the price is paid (pain?)?
Well, yeah. The price (of remembering/re-experiencing the pain occasionally) is ongoing. It’s not as immediate or intense as the original experience, but it’s still there. My question is about the VALUE you get from the memory—it’s hard for me to model that this value is positive, but not positive enough to avoid wishing the experience hadn’t happened..
Well, I guess that our memories work differently then. I truly don’t have a single memory that I would wish not to have. I see them as value. I don’t really feel that I am paying any price just by having them.
