” memories some times behave strangely..
sometimes they help u get through the lone time..
n sometimes they make u feel alone in the crowd of ur frens..”
How strange memory is..?? I mean sometimes I try to remember something from my childhood and i struggle..hw sad it is..I’m struggling to remember the times of my life when I was so happy, carefree, enjoying every bit of my life n so innocent…And nw realising that many of my memories are slowly and gradually fading out, I’m feeling way too bad..I used to think I could cherish those good times troughout my life..Bt nw I wonder if i can even recall which was my favourite toy..the one which would make me forget every ounce of grief n pain….
How does memory work..?? hw does it selects some events to take note of and some to just forget ( in simply a way which make us feel that those things never happened..) the human race which has broken down an atom into different components n which is now aiming for setteling on mars, has still not found out the exact answer for the memory..well research is continuing into Brain n hw memory works..bt for nw its just turning up more questions than answers.. I found an interesting explanation while browsing net :
” Every thought or incident actually liberates some waves(analogous to light) and they will be travelling all the while in all the directions and (as in law of affinity,) when it reaches a mind with similar tastes or thoughts it will enter that and as u mentioned, they will leave a mark… ! Others just move away searching for other .. “
N imagine if u hav awesome memory…wouldn’t U be the perfect creature on the globe..??? well i would say…”think again..!!!!”
.. even the “perfect memory ” status hurts…
For example, in 2000 Jill Price contacted brain researcher James McGaugh at the University of California, Irvine. According to an article in the Orange County Register she told McGaugh she wanted help with her memory.
“This is not a memory clinic”, the internationally renowned neuroscientist said.
“You don’t understand,” she said. “My memory is too strong … It’s like a running movie that never stops.”
“Most have called it a gift,’ she wrote to McGaugh. “But I call it a burden. I run my entire life through my head every day and it drives me crazy!!!”
Ms. Price has written about her experiences in the book :
P.S. : I havent read the book…bt I get a chance I’ll definitely read..
