I have been thinking lately that Maybe memory is
like a geological stratum.
I sometimes unconsciously recall unpleasant or
heartwarming events that happened
many years ago.
On the other hand, I consciously recall English
and math solutions I learned years ago
while studying for certifications.
When I consciously recall the solution,
I am looking back through the strata of memory,
and I believe that my brain is unconsciously
touching on memories other than the solution.
Just now, looking back. You see so many things.
It is difficult to see only what you want to see.
In other words, I wonder that people who regularly
recall skills learned years ago are likely to regularly
recall good and bad memories from years ago.
Remembering good memories is good.
But to recall a bad memory over and over again
and be tormented by it each time is,
I would say, hell.
If we can create many good memories from
now on, there will be many opportunities to
warm our hearts in the distant future.
It’s as if I’m saving up for a memory.
I want to have no regrets every minute of
every hour of every day.
Thanks.
