The curious case of memory………

I don’t why I am writing this article, and seriously I don’t even care, because one day it will be just a memory and probably memory is one of those things, that we want to have and don’t have. There are people about whom we want to remember and those about whom we don’t. It depends on how you perceive its concept and how you want to use it for in many cases it let you go for the kill and in many other cases it is the reason you die. It is after all THE CURIOUS CASE OF MEMORY.

I was reading a news column about the scientist’s endeavour of trying to make a medicine which will let you erase the memories that you don’t want to keep in your mind. It set me off thinking whether we are really in need of that. What are bad memories?

The scientists argued that, the medicine can let you forget the memories of the dead people in your family and thus would help you live a life in which you won’t be depressed. But are these really, bad memories. These memories were made because of the chequered life you might have learnt while living with them. It is a legacy they have left behind for you to savour not to get depressed about. It is a memoir of the time you spent with them. So, how can it be bad or even if they were, I remember a counsellor that came to my school said that you learn more from bad things than you do from bad. If he was not true then may be the counsellor is going to be out of work soon.

The other thing those scientists said was that the mistakes you did in life, the painful times you spent lying at the bottom of the vessel filled with people of your ilk and hence this medicine will eradicate all the scars in your mind and let your life become merrier than ever. But the thing that comes to the mind, is that if one has not been to the valleys how could enjoy the scene from the top of the world? He might enjoy it but not as much as those who have seen the rough part of life and trust me when I that these people might just remain more humble than those who have not.

So, basically it just depends on how you see your life that has gone by. If you think that you have been through something that depresses, leaves you in the sea of despondency than this medicine is going to be nothing less than a boon for you. But there are different ways, for you to get rid of the things that depress you but they still remain to some extent dangerous as all of them involve playing with the mind.

Another use I see for this medicine is in the intelligence agencies, when someone has to delete something specific from his mind so that it does not get into the foe’s hands. But what might even be more useful is something which won’t delete it forever but just send it to say the recycle bin of the brain. Something like a suppressant which would help the spy suppress and retrieve vital information and data from his own memory. It would revolutionise the spy game but who knows it is already a part of that industry or not.
