It’s like asking ‘why practice an instrument you can’t already play?’. If you only try each thing once and give up, you’ll get stuck in a local flavour maximum. Basically, what I’m saying is: it’s perfectly possible that the best experiences you can have are those that require a certain amount of less-pleasant experiences preceding them. You can stick with the medium-level experiences and you’ll never try anything bad twice, but you’ll also never discover things that might change your life.
