Memory.
I always think the strongest memories are those that are emotionally charged.
In a recent discussion with some friends, we spoke about an event that occurred about 5 years ago. It wasnt something that i personally wasnt very emotional about. But someone close was very affected by this incident, thus the strong memory. As they were talking about how its been 5 years, and people now hardly remember. When the accident occurred, they had put in place some measures to prevent it from occurring again. But now, no one remembers again.
Why? Is it because it wasnt something they were really upset about? It was a human life, and cognitively speaking, im sure most people mentally made a note that it was a terrible, and avoidable accident and that they should try to ensure such things dont occur again. But these cognitive notes, really dont stick long. Why do these reminders only serve such short periods of time? It takes a loss of a human life to make a short mental note that doesnt last more than a few years?
身外物
一段相处 一张脸谱
生命延续靠别人记住
入伍退伍 都有人哭
走或来你我都是单数
身体和财富 都是身外物
都是暂时借来完成短促的演出
人类是住户 爱却是礼物
哪怕无归原主
爱也不会结束
