MEMORIES-III

Recently, you all might have come across the Movies based on Robert Ludlum novels The Bourne Identity (1980) The Bourne Supremacy (1986) The Bourne Ultimatum (1990)

I still have not seen this movie series. But i understand the story line is similar/based on the Franco-Belgian comics XIII http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XIII_(comic_book)) Luckily, i enjoyed reading this comics(lion comics) in my native(Tamil) language when i was young-school boy. I have to say this is one of my most favourite character/comics of all time. Hugh attraction/fascination for this comics came from the Main character's MEMORY LOSS. Memories, it haunts and fascinates us humans. The story line is simple, but very strong. The main character of the movie/comics losses his memory. Why don't he accept himself and die down? No, that's not what we humans are, we want to find the past, our lost/past memories.

If i take a parallel of this movie to our real humans life cycle. Have anyone accurately remember, whats your first image/sound/experience when you were born or brought to life? Not sure!!! The memories come into existence all of a sudden. Some might want to call it "Life". But i want to call it "memories". It starts when we are born...all of a sudden!. This memory caring object never existed before it was born!. Then we grow....Time takes over. We get old and die one day. Its just the memories which stops! Like an hard disk crash!!. Zoom, all memories gone in a split second. Stop taking images, stop recording voices. Just a hard disk crash!. Computer without memory is like body without life/memory!. Memories is the life and soul!. Its the memories, we are born, live and die for. The sole purpose of our life is create memories, store it, compare it and store more...

When i say purpose, i remember the Samurai, warrior. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai

Samurai means "to serve" the sole purpose for their existence is to serve the Master(landlord). That's not the end, when Japan moves into more stable history, there was no need for the samurai!. No war, No fight! So many Samurai's became whats known as "Ronin". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronin. Ronin means a Master less Samurai!. If you look at carefully, its an oxymoron. Samurai gets the meaning only if he can serve, to serve a master. If there is no master to serve and still need to exist! Its purposeless existence, that's why Ronin is also called a "drifting person". I still don't want to say "meaningless".

We are a drifting person in time. Our memories are. We always want to attach a meaning to our memories/purpose in life by seeking a master!!. But the truth(i am afraid to use this word) is that we are nothing but a Ronin. As soon as we are born, we are suddenly injected with memory and drifted in time!. Our memories wander around for some time and dies down.

I am going to close the third chapter here and see whether i have any more memories on memories to write about...
