Memories

How much do we really know about what we have done? If we move a glass from one side of the table to the other and the next second we look back and it has not been moved, what do we do? We have the memory of moving the glass but the physical actions appear to have not happened. We have two options one, we moved the glass twice, once there and once back. Two we never moved the glass. This example may not be very good but the time of this post is to simply ask, what if we do not remember?

Our memories are all we have from most of the actions we do. The relationships we have where two people spend time alone the only thing they take from that their memories of spending time together. A photo can record a moment but lose the photo and you have to rely on your memory of the moment, or of the photo.

When we go on holiday, watch a movie, read a book or even take a walk. Any events we do not to just pass the time but to learn, we are relying on our memory to hold the event. Can you imagine if after you watched a movie you forget everything you just watched? What would be the point in watching it? What if you just spent a grand on a month holiday only to come back and remember nothing? Our memories are something we love and can bring us happiness and joy. If after reading this message you don’t remember this then you have wasted time, time that you may or may not have much of.

Memories allow us to hold onto lost moments. We can remember the times we spent with people who we never see anymore. Moments are important to create these memories but remembering the moment is the true importance of life.

So what if we cannot remember or hold memories? There are people in this world that cannot remember anything past 30 seconds ago. There is one man who is limited to just that. Clive Wearing has just 30 seconds of memory, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNDRDJy-vo .
If your sad then remember being happy, it may just make you happy. If you have lost someone then remember the happy times you had with them. Something memories can be more comfortable than the moments really were.
