What has been an experience becomes nothing more than a fading memory.
I do not get involved, though some of these incidents appeared ,at that time, to affect my life radically.
On hindsight it does not seem so mentally.
Another curious fact is that most insignificant things get recalled but not what I thought was very important.
Like a game played on the street in childhood, a meal with a stranger in a Train, the hotel where I stayed in a town.....
In most cases they make it up to lend effectiveness to their Legend.
It reaches such a stage that they start believing these incidents themselves, and are convinced them to be true and they mess up their lives, especially marriages for they believe what is written about them or what they make up by themselves.
There are many instances of film celebrities whose marriages were ruined by this and many a Career cut short.
In some cases it ended up in suicides.
What exactly is Memory?
Memory is the retention of images, Actions, Impressions of events, images from Life.
These are conditioned by what we Perceive.
Perception is conditioned by what we are.
In effect we Perceive what we want to Perceive.
