As some of you might have heard before, I've been on an introspection quest for a year and so to find out what the fuck do I want from my life, which led to an existential crisis 2 months ago that left me acknowledging how empty and shallow my life and values were, which was happily ended by a realization that what I was seeking was experience,novelty,thrill,stimulation,exploration instead of achievement, glory, dominance, status and wealth like I was thinking I am seeking. I've realized I find no value in possessions and I would happily trade them for moments and experiences that seem to be tend times more rewarding for me at least emotionally (i.e instead of possessing a beautiful female I'd flirt and share moments of sexual vibes, instead of saving money I'd earn lots through big efforts and blow it on fun things to give me more experience, instead of holding a high position in a company I'd work up the hierarchy then quit with a fat stack)
I want to hear your opinions on why one would prefer short-term sensations to long-term possesions.
