What kind of experience are you looking for?
I might have misspoken about the drug part, admittedly, or maybe I used a bad comparison with the drug part, but to answer your question...
A balanced experience.
Because for me, not being upset about bad things happening to me, the things not actually harmful, killing or life ruining, that is, AND improving myself while mixing it with the good things in life, I believe that kind of balance would lead me to a good life.
And while I can't decide for others, of course, (so I am not going to tell everyone to do this), I believe that can lead to a healthier life. Still, it seems not many have the mental or emotional strength to overcome what negative emotions they feel when they are hurt, but overcoming something is possible to do.
