You live for 27,375 days (on average). Would you give up 1000 for 1 great one?

If not a thousand, how many?
How many days would you be willing to give up of your 27,000 for one absolutely great day?
My answer:
I would give up a thousand for one great day.
How many great days do you remember in your life anyway? I bet you can't recall one great day for the thousands of days you've been alive. And I bet some of you haven't had a great day as long as you can remember. So, what's it worth? I think it's worth a thousand. That's like 2.75 years.

Part of the reason great days are so great is because of those 1,000 shitty days.

My normal days aren't so shitty that I'd give away 1,000 for that is "great." So, no.
And the great days I've had have been so many that I know I will have more ahead. I wouldn't wish any of my life away for a little extra pleasure.

I have had about ten to twenty stupendous days but most of my usual days are pretty damn good, so no, I'll stand pat.
You can have the five or ten shitty days I've had.
Please, I insist!

Well the Saints won the Super Bowl, so I saved 1,000 there.

Every day above ground is a great day

I agree in sentiment, but I've had hundreds of great days.

This is why you did not get a 28 on your act

I've had so many "great ones"
No

No! I have great days everyday
Posted on 2/14/16 at 6:43 pm to Pectus
I would ditch 1000 days of work for 1 day of roller coasters, water slides, and two chicks at the same time.
Posted on 2/14/16 at 6:44 pm to Pectus
I have had two great days - the days my sons were born.

What do you consider a "great" day?
Posted on 2/14/16 at 7:03 pm to Pectus
Anyone who would trade nearly 3 years of your life for 1 generic "great" day should seriously seek mental health counseling.
Posted on 2/14/16 at 7:03 pm to Pectus
Sure. I'd rather have fun than sit back and regret not having fun

I read an interesting article about how we perceive time and enjoy our lives.
The summary is that the first 25 year or so "feel" like half of our life, in part due to the fact that each successive year represents an increasingly small fraction of your total time on earth:
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/7...
...but furthermore you have more "novel" experiences early in life. You learn your first language, make your first friends, have your first kiss, graduate from highschool and possibly college, your first car, etc. etc.
The article finished by suggesting that in order to get the most out of our lives, we should get out and experience as many novel and unique things as we can. Get hobbies! Take vacations! Enjoy your time
So one great day in trade for 1000? Maybe not... but 1 great day in trade for 10 typical working week days? Absolutely
