My life is invaluable. The relationships I make, the books I read, and the companies I work for are all steps into building the life I want. However, the question posed to me was, would I plug into a machine that could take care of all my distress and let me achieve my perfect life? My short answer: absolutely not.
What would life be like if I wasn’t able to make a mistake? Perfect? No way. I find joy in making mistakes, learning from them, and building upon my previous experiences to never make that mistake again. This makes me feel that I have sort of achieved something, instead of it being handed to me on a silver platter. If I did plug in, the few hours I had not inside the machine would ruin my conscience. I would not be able to live with myself knowing I “chose the easy way out.”
