Our minds are wonderful things. Why should we clutter them up with a bunch of useless knowledge that only gives our egos a rush? Not remembering most things from our distant past is actually a good sign - we don't continue holding on to the past. That is an indicator that we are more into the now than we were. Being aware of now doesn't allow us to drag all that past crap along with us... it' way too cumbersome. And that past... that interminable past is mostly best left there, in the past. Too many folks keep their past with them as if that past was ever misplaced or lost their whole life would be gone... bip! like a flash - life ended, mind dead. But that is so much bullshit.
I'm not talking about dis-ease here. I'm talking about healthy folks with normally healthy minds. Sure we must remember some things from the past. But most of what we remember is what we actually need to keep our head together. There's a slew of things that are pretty necessary for a normal existence and one that doesn't require outside assistance. You know which ones suit you.
But here and now... that's always fresh and new. Age doesn't come into it. Mind runs on instinct in the now. And when that happens ironically the memory of what transpired in 'that' now is still fresh in 'this' now, now being unchangeable in a changing climate.
Let life go. Don't struggle with it. Life's been around one hell of a lot longer than you, him or me. If you can't let life go on it's own, you gotta problem. A control issue. Fucked up. Anyone that attempts to control life is fighting a force much greater that themselves. They will lose. And perhaps they should... the sooner the better. The quicker they will see they truth in life - plug yourself into the natural flow and go... merrily, merrily, merrily. Life is but a stream. But you know that. So do they. And all of them. And me. We all know this. So why do we allow mind to think otherwise and get away with it? This is when humor has the ability to cure our dis-ease.
