There's something to be said for learning from certain memories. But memories of being a victim of physical violence or something else - I don't know if those are really teachable moments. At the same time, memories are so interconnected in so many parts of our mind, it's hard to know what the impact would really be.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-60144014748763476782015-05-06T19:24:13.165-05:002015-05-06T19:24:13.165-05:00I am intrigued by the comparison of painful memori...I am intrigued by the comparison of painful memories and physical pain, and why can one be muffled and not the other. Of course the idea of erasing a specific memory cannot but help recall The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I always think of the plotline of Kirsten Dunst's character, and how she learns that she has been repeating the same mistake over and over - the whole tie between memory and personal evolution and change. There's something scary about touching memory as if we don't completely understand the repercussions it would cause to erase it. And yet, we know the repercussions of kept memories, and how certain painful memories can also prevent personal evolution and change, and moving on. It's a lot to ponder.Christy (A Good Stopping Point)http://agoodstoppingpoint.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-29147709741166673242015-04-25T07:29:32.293-05:002015-04-25T07:29:32.293-05:00I am excited to read Michio Kaku.

And -- hmmmm about the painful memories. It would depend! It would depend on if anyone else was involved in the memory, like, I wouldn't want to erase a piece of shared history with someone I cared about, probably, even if it was painful.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.com
