Memory is very important to who we are as human beings. Who would we be if we were like Clive Waring, we couldn't remember anything 20 secs in the past? We would practically be non-existent because we wouldnt remember how to do anyting at all. Everything from reproducing to eating would eventually fail to be remembered, and we would cease to exist as people. It would be a humanless world if we were all like Clive

I see my memories differently, but not too much differently. it surprisede me to read how much our memories fabricate memories to fill in gaps in stories. I realized before this that our minds did it, but not to such an extent as this. I still truse my memories, but now its just a matter of do i tell them to people or not. I dont tell stories to people if i know that something if not right very often, and that will just reinforce my thinking.

The conceptof memory repression was interesting. i knew about how people in traumatizing events sometimes repress the memory and don't remember it, but i never realized that it actually isn't lost. Most of the time the memory is always there, the person just chooses not to remember it. Sometimes even, trying to forget something leads to creating persistant and vivid replays of it, such as veterans. God Bless Them.
