@ Cynic: Yes. I’m reading Milan Kundera’s ‘Ignorance’ and he has some wonderfully profound things to say about remembering. Read it.

@ Aseem N: Thank you. I hope remembering wasn’t a painful experience for you, though.

Very well written… You put me through some similar experiences I have had in the past.

Not that I have forgotten them otherwise… but they have now found words…

..memory is a fickle thing isn’ it? one can remember in great details thing one would rather forget. and often strains to recall things one woud like to remember

@ Apoo: Perhaps because pain is much more potent emotion than pleasure?

@ st: That’s not for me to say. People behave differently after all. Personally I don’t remember people who walk away from me, fondly.
And there are no judgement calls here; this is an expression of emotion.

@ Brad: You hurt me. You heal me. You hurt. You heal. Where do you end and I begin?

@ Pravin: LOL….that is if I’m right in thinking that you’re thinking whatyou’re thinking!

I just had to run, and run I did,
Away from me, and that’s the truth.

I kept runnin’, looking back, at the memory
That I was leavin’ behind,

Alas! Runnin’ in one big circle,
Not seeing that I was runnin’ towards you again!

so if you had left earlier,
you would be remembered with loathing?
and it was ok for you to do
but not someone else?

maybe i am just missing the point here..

Ditto Apoo, i think there is no such thing as 100% satisfaction hence we always want to fix broken things(including dreams), irony is , we do so with memories as well knowing that they cant be changed. I hate bad memories!

But then, why do we remember the negative ones we loathe more than the +ve ones?
