Experiences and memories

> Our lives are governed by the remembering self. Even when we’re planning something, we anticipate the memories we expect to get out of it. The experiencing self, which may have to put up with a lot in return, has no say in the matter. Besides, what the experiencing self has enjoyed can be completely devaluated in retrospect. – [Daniel Kahneman](http://m.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/a-834407-4.html)
