| There are those that say
how memories, in many cases, can be stimulated by items or objects of a visual nature, such as photographs, and that constant reinforcement of those particular memories, however insignificant, over time, will produce an end result of those memories remaining in the human consciousness. In fact, this is true. Decades, specifically, two, have passed, darn it, and amazingly, especially considering all of the other nonsense that passes through our cranium, many of these older memories are not only crystal clear as if they took place yesterday, but the fact that their existence can be confirmed is something that is nothing more than astonishing, especially to those who say, rather embarrassingly, that their memories are notoriously full of holes, due, undoubtedly, to the fact that their memories were not stimulated by constant reinforcement as ours were, through our massive collection of photographs -- hundreds, in fact -- taken ever since the year of 1976, not to mention that we also own a complete collection of the Model Laboratory School yearbook, The Exemplar, from 1974 to 1987, as well as The Observer, at least the issues from 1984 to 1987, our Freshman through Senior years, with just a few holes in that particular collection. The end result is that we have been able to preserve the memories of these events over the past twenty years, regardless of the fact that we may not have done so willingly, but unconsciously, over time, because we took the photos ... we had the newspaper articles ... we had the artifacts and other items of interest ... and not only because we had all of this stuff, but also because we had the opportunity to review and examine and re-review and re-examine and commit to our brains all of the details associated with those images, and that is the overall reason as to why our memories of these situations is considerably, excuse the pun, more photographic than most anyone else's. Hey, we aren't bragging or anything, this is just how we remember these things, otherwise we wouldn't be here. On the other hand, one could always suggest the notion that our ability to recall these events from history is due to the extraordinary fact that we have no life and that the empty spaces in our brain could be better filled with something far better. Time will tell! |
