The Way Memory Works..

At times I wonder how does this ‘memory’ work?  I mean it has this boon of forgetting and filtering things without which we would have been struck in one moment, one place , one incident. It is only due to the gift of forgetfulness that we are able to digest changes in our life and timeline. It is only due to this that we shift from one activity to another and hence life works.

Now, is it in our hands to determine what to keep and what not to. Well, to a large extend it is, but after a point, we simply lose our control from it. how else would happen those diseases called memory loss and even general incidents where we tend to keep forgetting to do a thing or other which might not be very significant activity of our life or at times is not in our priority list. But most if the times, those are the very things that are significant and we realise our irresponsible attitude once we have missed doint those things at the right time. And yes, apart from the things we realise and remember to do, there are many other things too that simply skip our heads and go to that dark hole of once held thoughts now turned to an unknown hollowness.

So, how to attain control over this faculty and utilize it to its fullest capacity? After all Einstein used mere 3 % of his brain and all of us are spectators of his achievements. Would making lists and prioritizing some things over other – help to reschedule our life? Would paying more attention to every little detail of our life bring any difference? I guess more than such calculated steps , is required a healthy mind.

What is a healthy mind? Not just well slept and doing its mundane activities properly. But also a sound head which is in good spirits and is able to have appropriate reflex as per the needs of the times. How to attain it?? well, meditation is one solution. But more than any other external practice, one requires the heeling power of his own mind.

Its is only when one decides to stay happy no matter what – can he be really happy – if there is any loom of unhappiness inside his conscience. Now, anti –depressents or merely moving on includes a lot of delete refresh steps. In all this process many a times, many important things go missing too and one day one wonders, ‘how the hell did i forget that close a thing. It was so important for me once.’ And yet, deep inside our spirit knows what to delete and what to keep at a side. Had it not meant to be turned up this way, in this particular moment, it wouldn’t have gone missing that way.

Nature has its own surprises. So is the case with our mind. Apart from what one remembers in his very conscious self, there is a sea of memories hidden behind. They don’t swell at the shore everytime, but when they do, they cause havoc at times. The risk management still remains in our hands. And yet,  even we fail to face all times. But regretting or staying upset about it won’t help. What matters is to get up every time. And once again face the wide world of emotions, with a bolder spirit at every rhyme.

And life becomes one melody of rythms. And we  enjoy those surfy times. Of highs and lows, friends and foes. Everything becomesa piece of wonder. And we spectate those times. Alienation and acceptance is what it takes. To get through those hidden rhymes. And once you have crosses those torrents. Well wait, there are still many suns and moons behind.
