Happiness

I would have to answer yes, for the most part, but it depends on what you define "your life" as being. If it is only the sum of what you think and remember, then your feelings of loss are to be expected as a result of your condition. But, your "life" is also contained in the memories of others that you may have shared it with even if their memories are slightly flawed also. No matter what the many narrators inside you are saying, the real question should be; "Am I happy right now?", and, "Do I think I will be happy tomorrow?"

My wife and I have grandparents in their nineties, two on her side and one on mine. Conversations with them revolve around their ancient memories which float around their heads, evolved and distorted with age, but still based on facts from their past. For the most part, even if the experiences of the past are slightly altered, or even outright fairy tales, if a person is happy does it really make a difference in the end?
