MEMORIES-II

The foremost aspect of our memory is because of the quantity called TIME. Time is linear (Stephen Hawking's theory of bending the light/time can be considered later :) , now lets go with the classical). "Time is non-stop" The previous statement is one of the scariest i can imagine!. Time never stops! When ever we talk about Memory, we have to consider the time frame!. Time defines Memory. Time completes and encapsulates the memory!. We can try to define memory with Time, but defining time i think i am not capable of it. Only when i can step out of time, i can observe it and to define it!.

Anyway, lets not deviate from our main topic "Memories". So we were trying to identify and define "Memories" with time. Our current system/universe/world is ruled by the TIME progressing linearly. Since i say linear, then there could be another possibility of non-linear/random progression of Time. Can you imagine!. 1980 comes first, then may be 1550, then 1920.... It may not make sense (doesn't have to make sense. Sense/logic is not what we are discussing), but its still possible! Random memory is possible, but random Time! think about it.

When people tell me that they fell nostalgic about their past school or university or their past lived city or their friends/family. I always reply that they don't miss the place/person/thing. What they miss is Time, which is already past. You can go back to your old place. You can meet you old pal. But the memories can never match to the original!. Simply put, you can never go back in time (is it?). Some people might start writing about their past to recreate their nostalgic memories, but end up becoming a writer!.(future) Some would want to build their dream house (from our old memory), but would end up building a new house, a new town, a new city, a whole new world.....wow...this progress/process is going on and on. So typically what we are doing is building something, try to match it with the previous state. Doesn't fit, but this new one becomes the ideal one and based on this we build the next one! confusing, is it?

Lets go with an example, Lets take your grand parents home. That must have being an ideal place/happiness for your parents. For you, its your parents home. For your son, your current place. So my point is we humans keep on trying to recreate our lost time/memories to recreate that perfect ideal picture we experience some time back. From this we get our new house, a new town, a new city....our future!!! wow, amazing. Our memories are creating our future!!!(this is interesting, but will explore later).

I will stop here for today. Before that a point to ponder. If we humans are always trying to recreate the old/past and match it. Where do the so called progress/inventions/improvements/ come from??
