Memory

There is something that you cannot touch, sense or see, but, indeed, it is living deep in our mind, maybe in somewhere in the corner in our mind.
Memory is the most wonderful thing in our life beside of love. Why would I say memory is the most wonderful thing in human’s life beside of love? Because it is just like the memory in our computer and it is able to “record” everything that happened in our life.
When we are thinking something already happened in our life, our brain will search that part of memory automatically, and it just like a projector, it projects all the memories in our mind. You can either recall back your memory open the eyes, or close your eyes, but I will suggest you that better recall back closing your eyes, if not, it might scared the people who were sitting around you.
Some would purposely choose to erase some part of their memory, because it is very sad and unbearable, some would purposely remember that particular memory or memories, because it is so good to them, like their birthday party, first kiss or first love.
So, how to create memory? What a good question. Creating memory isn’t like creating any tangible product, because produce a tangible product is very easy; just by using the materials then assemble them, that is all. But creating the intangible or abstractive thing like memory is more difficult, sometimes; it might need some skills or tactic? Hehe , if not, a good memory will turn into a nightmare accidently.
The most important thing in a memory is the content itself in that memory. Who were you together with in the memory? Your family, friends or lover? Friends and family is very common in our memory, because family member is always the part of our memory since we were born, so are our friends, we growth up together, we share most our memory in school time, and we always discover something together. But, lover is very special case, tow stranger were came from different background can be together, how wonderful is it. Then they fell in love, and they intrude each others’ life. In the other word, they are creating the memory together! Since then, their memories are inter-connected. No matter how bitter is it, when you look back , you will feel sweet, no matter how sad you are, when you look back, you will feel happy, no matter how fool you are, you will smile at the corner alone.
I always believe that people are always living at the moment, because I m so realistic, it doesn’t means that I don’t have memory, because I will take it as very meaningless if we keep indulge ourselves in our memories. But somehow, a girl had told me, people are living in the memories, hehe, I guess that is the difference between guy and girl. Living in the memory, it sounds so interesting and romantic, not bad!
I strongly agree that we should write down what were happened in our life, because it is memory. If we did not write it down, then I will call the memory as “baseless” memory, because next time, if you want to find the evident, it is not recorded. Then I will call the memories that has been recorded , then I would call that memories as “based memory”, it is different to dairy, because dairy required to write every day, but memory is no need, you only need to write down when “memory” is happened, all depend on yourself.
Alas, memory, memory, memory, do you really existed? I know some people say that you cannot denial the existence of god just because you couldn’t touch , sense or see Him, just like memory, you cannot say it is doesn’t existed just because you cannot see, touch or sense it. Memory is always turning in our mind, to make us happy, sad, or smile. If you ask me, after I die, what thing that I hope to leave to the world, and then I would choose my memory, because my memory is always sweet one!
