Memory

From the day, we first open our eyes till the day, we close
them, there’s “First bombardment” and “Last
bombardment”. These terms such as perception, attention,
retention, learning etc comes a long after, for these terms
are also to be learned as we grow up. After First
bombardment, mind just baffles up and tries to wrap around
what’s thrown in that moment. Also, a beautiful irony hidden
here in first and last bombardment i.e. we say an old body is
much like a new born’s body but isn’t new born, super
sensational and an old body barely sense anything? Which
tells us; after a limit is touched, the gates close down of
taking things up. But let’s go back to the start and come close
to end.
So, baby gets born. Our powerful enough mind grapples the
language which is a great phenomena of catching up
something one never knows as said in many texts. I believe,
the only factor which we helps us in this the most, is
phonotic sound of the language and how people act by the
direction of those phonemes and child tries to learn in that
way.
Then, cycle moves on with information coming and getting
stored in mind as memories and one learns the way gradually
this world works. But main part which affects the Psychology
with great hit is accidents and incidents. Something which
retains forever even if it fades away with time, they are
there. So, memory storage of this thing actually develops and
hold the emotions. Cause emotions are first felt when you
feel for the first time and understand and store in memory,
“okay this feels like this so this is, this emotions”, How else
would one know. For example, An icecream we never tasted
and now we do, the taste we feel for the first time, either we
will try to adjust with old concepts and new concept of taste
and what we felt would be formed. That’s how, emotions are
also are formed or rather we shall say, “We name our
instincts then”.
These incidents can also disturb this normal functioning of
taking in and storing to an extent where present memory
which is ongoing learning process does get affected really
hard. Where, I wonder if this memory never stays with one
then present would become so heavy and beautiful at the
same time cause a new life, every day. But on the practical
ground, everything is necessary and so is memory retention.
A lot of info has been given here and there in texts, I’ll try
something unsaid.
This life goes on and on. We try our best to get the best info
out of this world in our memory. But is there any rigid end to
anything in the world? And so to memory? We must have
learn a lot by now and aged people overflow with knowledge.
But. Is there any stop? There is none. And when there is none
then why to give it such heavy efforts cause it creates a
mental misbalance. When we can not grab a full apple
anyway why to even grab more than half. Just go easy on it
and grab whatever amount that cause no pain to this mind
and be at rest. Just to heavy a healthy Psychology and
balance because this is what we die for. We should go light
on this memory and should retain whatever we easily can.
For, there is no end one can touch and there is no rigid
boundary. Learn what is necessary and go easy on it.
