    “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

    Just kidding. I have no idea. Some would say love, I’ve been fortunate enough to have a caring family, but I’ve never known “true love” of another not from my family.

    The “I figured it out!” feeling!!! Solving a particularly difficult problem, or the moment when something you’ve been struggling to understand finally “clicks.”

    I’ve been in love, had great food and drinks and been to a few amazing far off places, had great orgasms, enjoyed awesome stories in various forms of media, etc. but nothing compares.

    Fixing something you thought was probably going to end up trashed is also a great feeling. I would call it a subcategory of the “I figured it out!” feeling, though.

      I agree along with the flash of insight that lightning strikes you and you know it in your body before becoming aware of it consciously

      This is it. Doesn’t matter if you spent 60min, 10h, 100h, 1000h,… on it - that’s accomplishment.

    Falling into a nice comfy bed when you’re exhausted and just passing out

    Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days

    Orgasms

    Eating your favorite meal

    Having your back scratched or getting a massage

    Apparently I think the best feelings have to do with the physical and not the mental, not sure why that is

      I was hoping completely unrelated comments like these would disappear after the election but some people sure are persistent. Also if seeing the wrong candidate win is the worst feeling you can imagine then you should work on your personality a little bit because defining yourself solely by politics can’t be healthy.

    When I’m dragged across an array of sharp raised metal bumps on a plane until there’s a pile of me in strips and chunks on the plate below.

    No, wait, that’s the grate-ist feeling, sorry.

    When I go to bed and my dog shoves himself under the covers and tucks himself in the crook of my knees. Or when he rests his chin on my ankle.

    An orgasm, best if shared with someone you love. Highest rate of happy chemicals ever.

    Second place goes to watching a campfire shortly after the sun goes down. So relaxing.

    When your kid runs at you to give you the most enthusiastic hug of your life just because.

    When the woman you are madly in love with proposes to you.

    Or when your child for the first time says “Dada” and pulls on your beard.
