According to experts, what stays in our memory the most is what really impresses us. In a life of stored memories, it is often those who win the war of time who manage to change us emotionally, which on our part is unlikely to contain that emotion.
Also, bad memories seem to come to the fore rather than good ones, possibly because they mark and manipulate emotions more. People who have reached such an advanced age and can go back in time despite their age, get stuck in memorizing the four parts of their history that they don’t know very well whether it actually happened in the end or if it had a consequence. twisted fantasy.
One of the faculties emerging from our memory is to fill in the gaps that arise, and by covering them with the most material we have without any rationality, we become as original in our lives as the name.
Right now, we are overwhelmed with news that is too short-lived for us to remember in a few days. The media is responsible for inking those aspects of the truth that the majority find interesting, or for the hidden or overt benefit of a few.
But deep down, any news is as short-lived as the media would like it to be. Who remembers how barbaric it was that our famous politicians did and said, which immediately went into the drawer of oblivion and was not even found in the newspaper archives?
The most ephemeral moments are those that do not indicate anything on the lifeline, that is, most of them, because the unimportant and unimportant stand out above the important and fundamental, distracting us from the possibility of fattening and consolidation of our memories. the future.
We do our best to collect photos, videos, letters, to preserve fragments of our personal history on which, although insignificant to the majority, we have stamped an irreplaceable moral value. But they do not cease to be a part of the ephemeral, because if we do not see them, if we do not bring them to the present, it is as if they never existed.
If we had to choose the best moment of our lives, we would certainly choose the past, downplaying the present or the future, and when it comes to our worst, we think it hasn’t come yet because we always attribute it to the future. The most painful thing known, to death. We are part of the temporary because we are temporary.
