Which do you guys think is worse:

To live your entire life in unhappiness, or to live the first part of your life in relative happiness, only to have it all suddenly stripped away and the rest of it be unhappy?

Well, we learned about that in my High School Psychology class as a matter of peoples' preference to easing the way out of pain rather than simply cutting it off. Like, how a lot of people had a better opinion of a painful dental treatment if the process was longer, but the pain was slowly decreased instead of just ending. I never read the actual study, I just heard about it in that class and it came to mind in regards to the question.

Woah, you had a psychology class in high school? Mine had nothing like that. And I'm the opposite on that dental thing. Yikes. ._.
