I'm sure they do. Everyone rewrites their history in their favor. It's human nature. The problem arises when you do it for your own gain or comfort, it's usually to the detriment of at least one other party
Fucking politicians. I'd rather know you're screwing me over.

this always reminds me of Orwell's 1984...rewriting history to serve the current needs

Somethings you can never unsee. Hopefully you won't always remember it.

I saw an article recently on altering your memory and the ability to either cpermanently change your memory of a particular item or forget it it altogether. Got me to thinking about being able to change other's memory as well.

If you could change a memory, would you do it? It wouldn't change the actual outcome, only how you remembered it. What if when you changed your own memory everyone associated with that memory also had their's altered? An event of life changed forever, but only the memory.

Over night I had successfully succeeded in forgetting certain images, now they are back, thank you very much (but not really).

A few good things already have been said and made me think further than my first reactions (which were similar to those):

My altered memory would mean I would wipe away the lesson I had to learn (if it was a lesson learning occasion) too. From which follows: Were it the other way around, the other person would forget how I reacted and forget the lesson they learned too. Which means in both cases, we would come away cheap and in the second occasion, much too cheap as that I would feel satisfied for my pain/trouble/hurt feelings/or whatever negative emotions I had about it.

Would the lesson stay without the memory, it would be like something one read about. I mean, one would somehow know it, know what is appropriate, but not really why, because it was learned without feeling the impact connected with it. Which makes it a pretty weak lesson. Much the same like memorizing rows and rows of the dates of historic events. One somehow remembers something has happened, and that it changed history, but the why …

The ripple effect: how far would it go, would also people who had been told about it, forget what happened? Then we would end up a very poor (socially, emotionally and wiseness wise) society. I doubt if we would be a society anymore at all.

The exception of traumatic memories, I was thinking along the lines of RacyRed here, but then: The memories of traumatic events (it doesn't matter if the event was a breaking bra clip in high school, or getting hit by a car, if 'traumatic' is how one person classifies them, then no-one has the right to say differently) make us who we are too, our reactions, our way of handling them, our way of living with/through/despite them.

So no, not even these memories should be altered. But we shouldn't be judged if we wanted help to deal with them, how ever trivial they might be in someone else's opinion.

This is an interesting question for me today. Today marks the anniversary of the death of a very dear family member. I was holding his hand as he passed away. And while I am so happy that he was surrounded by his family during his last moments, actually witnessing his death is a memory that I loathe. I know other people who have the opposite feeling when it comes to being there when a loved one dies, but it kind of haunts me.

So would I like to alter that memory? My first instinct is to say yes. But if it also altered my mom's and sibling's memories, I don't think so because they find comfort in the existing memory.

And from a bigger perspective, I also agree that our memories, good and bad, shape who we are. And I like who I am, so... I'm good.

Did somebody finally get around to watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?
 
This thread is over 5000 posts and will need to be closed. Would the OP like to start a new thread and provide me the link, or have me carry over posts?

Thanks :rose:
