Humans memories are tricky, every moment that we live we create new memories and the older we grew, somehow we start letting go of some little things. These little things connects to a wide range of other memories but the moment we are unable to remember a bit of it, everything disappears like it was never there. Memories are formed like a web pattern , every bit of it connecting to another. In those little memories, the definition of who we used to be lies.
Looking at how valuable memories are, not a single one of it is worth forgetting because it is what makes us who we are, it is the sum of our experiences but then, there are times we do choose to forget some unpleasant memories. But then, what if there is a way to record our memories, never to forget any bit of it, would it be a wonderful thing? It is quite a difficult question to answer.
For those who have never been haunted by a memory would never understand how much influence unpleasant memories have on our minds. In as much as we try so hard to hold unto some memories, there are some we would do anything just to let go. It is not everything we do in life that we humans are proud of, there are some things we do that just end up becoming a source of regret for us and the worst that could happen to any human is to be overwhelmed by regrets.
In fact, those with lesser memories are known to live happier, the more memories we have, the more burden we carry. Our creator must be cognisant of this, that is why our mind naturally let go of some memories, not because it is not important, it is not just worthy of keeping. We only hold unto memories that matters to how existence. I believe we should leave things this way, there is no point of recording memories who choose to forget.
Why record memories, only to get haunted by them? What role does it serve? if it was worth remembering in the first place, I'm not sure we would forget. Even the few ones we carry around are burdensome enough, why go ahead and record it all, only to carry the weight of every action around like a medal.
