Memory And Forgetfulness Comments

Very interesting poem. Many rhythms of our body are regulated by some inner mechanism. I suppose workings of mind can also be regulated likewise. We may feel threatened by it if it clashes with our own will to remember or to forget as we desire or choose.

daniel, the idea of a regulator mechanism is interesting. why i remember what i remember, why the few memories among the so many, is something i've wondered about. i explore it in my poems " why this memory" and " island chain." -glen

(Part-3) Both memory and forgetfulness are essential for our survival. Many sorrowful things we remember, but gradually they are removed.If we continue to remember them, our life would be one of misery. Likewise happy memories are energy to our health.But unless we come to a practical present that may be less joyous, we will be living in our past only.

(Part-2) - Why do we remember something for life and why we forget some events and people so easily? Is there a regulator to control our free mind to determine what to remember and what to forget.

'The freedom of the sovereign mind is bedrock, it is the channel both memory and forgetfulness maneuver. They become more entangled in each other they often move in tandem, like a dancing couple sweeping across the dance floor, and then parting.'- - - - -A great poem about our memory and forgetfulness.(Part-1)
