This wait of 3 years to publish another blog is not intentional. I was just too complacent to publish something and the time just has flown. When I had published the Part - 1 on this topic, I never thought I will write Part -2 on the same topic again due to time lapse in writing blogs. As I mentioned in my last post on this topic, we collect and store everything in our memory as time frames. So what I achieved as memory in these past 3 years? Someone wrote about these time-frames in a brilliant way; life is all about writing books and every year that passed is a complete chapter of that book.
So how the last 3 chapters of my book look like? Or rather how my chapters look like when I opened this Blog Spot account way back in 2006 to find out what this blogging is all about by test writing my first blog (Picture Blog)? Coincidentally that blog was also all about Memories. So how 7 chapters of my book called life look like? Are there any achievements, failures, gains, or losses revealed in these chapters? If the life is an interesting story, are the chapters from past years revealed any suspense, plots, subplots, or twists?
There are too many questions and if you dig down in those memory lanes or chapters as I mentioned here, you may also find too many answers. So it will be all about how deeply you want to study those chapters. The major events that happened in those chapters will come to you first, maybe least of efforts and if you have the time then you can dig down to the granular level to find out what happened in those years, months, or days. Once you realize you have this kind of spare time then either you may start to imagine changing those events or your mind will start finding out the possibility of “what if this would have happened differently?” or both. So the point is do you want to invest time in this kind of activity? And why you want to invest time in these activities which will result in nothing. As to how harsh it may sound or how hard you may try you cannot change those chapters of your life.
Many peoples who inspired us to ask not to live in the past. Do that means never reveal those past memories again? Is it humanly possible to delete all those past memories permanently or burn out those chapters the moment it passed by? Many people may say different things, I believe no. Tell me; is it possible to behave like a person with sort time memory loss or total memory loss just to pretend nothing ever happened before today? And if you have a really good memory then the task of forgetting the past will be much difficult. Memories will always be there and the sole purpose of those memories is to give you experience. It’s that memory which helps you to make decisions in the present which will make your future. Memories may not be of your own experience it can be of someone else you have encountered or read about. Reveal the memory from the past when it’s really needed not when you have spare time to think about your past. In other words, learn from the past and move on and learning is incomplete if you can’t keep things from past in your head.
We all know if the present demands a situation and we have a memory footprint of handling similar situations it will automatically show up, you may not need to work hard to retrieve that. My suggestion is not to work hard in retrieving memory. Occasional fun in retrieving past while with friends may be fine but if you put the practice of not retrieving memory now and then, you may find during those discussions from past are long lost inside your head and retrieval are resulting in faint or no outcomes that’s what is called the removal of unnecessary memories. It’s all about practice and a difficult one to follow and can only be achieved by keeping yourself in the state of the present. So let’s see if there will be any Part-3 on this topic, or I will be able to avoid it by publishing blogs on a regular basis. Till that time, tell me in the comments below what your chapters reveal about your life story.
