" Memory is a beautiful thing, if one doesn't have to deal with the past".
But, it is a wonderful thing when the past is beautiful. We remember it not once, twice but umpteen times, and wish that it happens again. If we can, and as a matter of fact we do, deal with the good things, why is it taxing to deal with the bad ones, i wonder.
If a person cherishes the good memories, why does one lack the courage in dealing with horrific ones. Is it just courage deficit or the basic sub-conscious refusal to deal with it to protect one's emotional frailty. In any case I wouldn't want to know the answer, as I have come up to believe in letting sleeping dogs lie.
Psychology is a science with no certain explanation. Is it really true? Or most of us are fearful of stepping in its deep dark realm and sink under the vast nuisances. It really is a science of a lot of 'know-how' and compels to ask questions that an albeit 'normal' human wouldn't ask. Don't 'fuck' with my mind. Stop manipulating me. Such statements are common among theses normal beings.
I have often wondered, that always the alleged manipulators and 'brain fuckers', not literally speaking , are the strong ones who can deal with harshest of memories and stand apart maybe alone even sometimes. Now, it is just a speculation and assumption based purely on logic. The prohibited territory of psychology isn't yet covered by me,yet. They,i suppose, in the end are more clear and can view & forget the past with utmost ease.
An athlete learns to train his muscles so that they don't cramp, or break or etc.A musician trains his senses to detect the fault, if made, in any note by his instrument. Alike, a player i.e., a mind player learns to train the chain of thoughts and memories that he can control, when they will hurt or not. It should work like a switch that turns off and on at his will giving him the feelings that wants. Now what do we call such a person? Don't say robot. We have seen even the shrewdest people break down in adverse times. I would like to call them just 'players'.
A memory is a wonderful thing. Aristotle said."memory is the scribe of the soul". Now isn't it a contradictory statement to the line I wrote earlier. The 'players are, if we see are actually co-joining the two statements and fulfilling both. If such reason is good enough to define a human's strength, i should probably end my article right now. If it doesn't, it provides enough food for thought. Think!
