No, there would go an entire year of my life that I wouldn't recall. It wouldn't matter how happy I was at the end of it I wouldn't remember any of it.

No because life is good when there are ups and downs, happiness and sadness. That's how we learn stuff and appreciate what we have and who we have.

No, it would be pointless IMO. You'd basically lose a year of your life if you couldn't remember any of it, but then again you wouldn't know what you were missing :-)

Yes... because when we're truly happy, we tend to be positively, outwardly flowing with our dynamic energy.
I'm certain there would be things done/ said/ accomplished by me during that year that others would remember--for their positive effect--even if I don't!

No, if I could remember nothing I wouldn't do it - what would be the point?
It's sometimes our memories that keep us going.
The pain of losing that happiness would for a time be unbareable, but, we somehow soldier on with our lives.
The price we pay for love (or happiness) is grief. Nothing in this life comes without a price.

Guys................we are talking about one year of PERFECT HAPPINESS!!!
You wouldn't do it because you couldn't renember it?
That would be like..... not going on a trip to europe for a month, all expences paid, because you can't bring your camara.
Personally I think the experience is more important then the memory of it!

I can only imagine that the good things done (by me) during that year, while being outwardly, flowingly happy would have to have some lasting impact in the world.
