Experience vs Memories

We always run after happiness. Today, life has become so hectic that everyone is running - some after a defined goal, others in search of that goal. There is yet another specie – running with no goal. They see everybody else running, therefore run to follow and find out why others are running ;) It is often advised that you should celebrate small occasions in life. Why? Just to pep up your life man!!!! To get a break from the goal/no-goal race! To create sweet memories you can cherish, may be when you are retired. Coz otherwise people don’t have time to look back these days ;) But, sometimes I wonder what is more important the actual experiences, or the memories that remain after the experience is over. Is one hour spent with your friends on a weekend is enjoyable than the sweet memories one would carry for the next weekend if not the remaining life?  Is one day spent at an NGO with kids is more pleasurable than the moments of life when you feel satisfied looking back on the good moments you gave to those kids. I wonder what drives us to attain happiness, the momentary contentment or the memories to cherish. Leave apart one day, what if this time span is of a week, a month or a complete year? What if you could spend one year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience would you do so? If not, why not?
