Everyone should experience some time in assisted living – before they have to.

Love.

A totally mind-blowing orgasm with someone they love.

death!

Raising your own food. Mowing your own lawn. Living paycheck to paycheck, having to improvise to survive. Sharing stories, songs and a locally sourced meal around a campfire. Exhausting yourself to your limits by helping a friend. cleaning up the mess that you or your family made. Owning up to and correcting your mistakes. Watching Yellow Submarine on acid and a meteor shower on mushrooms. Being drunk enough to do your thing on stage yet not drunk enough to look a fool. Making close friends of people who don't look like you enough that you would fight for them. Examining and understanding your advantages in life. The peace that comes when you remember where your shame and entitlement originated and realize those adults that taught it to you were children themselves.

Starving for a week. A severe beating. Love. Loss. A random act of kindness.

Gaining perspective is not always a pleasant process, but I consider it necessary.

Being thanked by a stranger for a random act of kindness.

Too subjective. Nearly everyone will have a different answer.

International travel.
Floating in a pool in the middle of nowhere, staring at stars.
Camping in the middle of nowhere

In my times with the military I have had the opportunity of being the only person within a 40 mile radius with no other people in the middle of the desert at night, in the pitch black. It was a bit creepy, but also a very nice feeling all at the same time.

Diving with sharks, swimming with giant sea turtles, traveling, camping and having a child. All some of my happiest times.

Poverty, sufferings, and pain.

A year at a top notch theatre school.

LSD

I think everyone should live in another country for 5 or more months (military service not included) and experience another culture. It makes you more open-minded and more compassionate towards different kinds of people.

This is too individual-specific. There is no general answer.

Travel, where you are not familiar with the language

Magic mushrooms in a therapeutic context.

Divorce was life altering for me but I'd never wish it on another

Loosing both parents I've had to grow up quickly.a lot of friends and family thought I wouldn't cope. Need to keep eye on me which I've had all my life as wrapped in cotton wool. Now come back stronger

there is no one SHOULD and whatever it would be wouldn't be the same for everyone anyway. i agree with many of the answers below... for SOME people. i do not agree with a single one for ALL people.
