Saving Our Memories From Extinction

about 21 hours ago

Although memories are in two categories, the ones that triggers joy, peace, smiles and the likes and the ones that triggers regrets, pains, sorrow and hate.

Memories are beautiful, they are doorways to our past. They bring back moments that can not be reversed.

It's sad how that as amazing as we are: smart, intelligent, we can not store every event that happens in our lives. Sometimes even the ones we wish to keep in our heads gradually disappears as time goes on.

And it hurts, I know I had beautiful experiences during my childhood, but I can only recall a few things.

There are so many things in my life that I wish I can still remember but time and growth eroded them, until I can't trace the detail anymore.

This happens to everyone, even to our nations, our cultures and so on. This is why people began to document important events through journaling, video recordings, pictures and so on.

These are a good alternative to store memories and history but sometimes it doesn't capture detail, sometimes it feels like some parts are usually left out.

For instance, some of the national and religious historic events that were recorded still feels untrue to many due to the fact that some pieces are left out making it some how difficult to be accepted.

Imagine that we all have the ability to record those events in full, imagine that it was a full video, our faith would have been full.

Coming back to my life, if it were possible to record my past like a movie, I would be very happy. The truth remains that it will trigger two things, both joy and pains because some aspects of my life are not something I am proud of.

But whether pains or happiness, one thing is sure, the memory would leave me with lessons. It will become like a book, coaching, correcting and guiding me.

Our past are deep, and sometimes, I feel like some of us are going through certain terrible moments because we neglect or forget certain things from the past.
