Experiences vs. Memories

A proposition: If "the great powers that be" gave you the opportunity to live the happiest year of your life but you forgot everything once it was over, would you do it.

My Ans: Yes, I would do it. Why?
Well, I would want to live the happiest year of my life, and I don't care if I forgot it all, because I would want to experience that happiness. I want to be happiest in that moment.

Some people feel that what is the point of living through life, if you couldn't keep the memories of it. What is point if you can't a lesson from your experiences? However, just because you don't have a memory of it, does it negate the fact that you were happy in the moment in time?

I do love my memories, but I prefer the feeling I had when I was actually there, living it.
