Memories

OK.. now I was just surfing to get some definitions of it(memory) before I get started with what I want to convey. Some of them are:
1)The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience
2)The act or an instance of remembering; recollection
3)All that a person can remember / Something remembered
4)On computer terms -- a) A unit of a computer that preserves data for retrieval
b) Capacity for storing information

So be it for the humans or the computer, its something to do with the past. That is, some information which is already known or completed.

We always call it memories only when its good. Phrases used “recall the wonderful memories”, “memories to be cherished” . However, memories are not just about the good ones.
It includes all our past....

So the good and bad in it is decided by you!
The bad ones can be called as an experience. A lesson!
We all face tough times in our life, and will want to forget them!
I.e. the memories which we do not want to carry along with us.
How wonderful it would be if we could “shift+delete” them... and get it out of the trash only!

Imagine a human system where, when memory gets out of control or overloaded, we can delete them and refresh it to continue the normal process. Wow!
Sounds great and easy!

So do we need a separate system to get this done... ?
Can't we just do this our self with what we have... either taught or imbibed!

Yes there's a saying – Forgive and Forget!
Its such a simple thing which can easily manage our memory as far this thought is concerned.
To erase our “bad memories”, all we need to go is forgive the person/reason for it and to forget !

Forgetting is not hard at all... it's an excuse we always give...
when we don't call our near and dear ones, when we forget their birthday, when we miss to call back or meet someone waiting for us, when we forget to buy the grocery mommy asked us to
and the list goes on....

Use the same here and I'm sure it would help us a lot!
There's a movie on the same lines, on erasing memory...
wow it seemed to the character undergoing that, in the movie, but when he wanted to prove his love, all he wanted was just the memory of the love he had for her!
Wonderful isn't it!!!
That's the beauty of memory... so just relish and cherish your memories...
For only you can feel it ...
