A part of us is defined by the bundle of memories we hold. Whether we can forget is not entirely in our hands. It is good to forget the time you were a baby when your mother changed your nappies, because such a memory is irrelevant to your current needs. For clearly defined good or bad memories, effort is required to preserve or forget them.

And then the third type of memory keeps swinging like a pendulum between useful and useless, bitter and sweet, loving and threatening, dull and charming... I guess, the biggest challenge lies in moving in the direction of the swing, not against it. Therein lies the biggest adventure as well.
