Memory is KEY

Memory is key to existence.
Before getting into memory I must mention the obvious. As a human we are all born, and we all die. The difference between being young and being old are very different. You would think as time goes by your automatically better prepared for anything that comes your way. This mostly proves true, but not always. As we age as individuals, we don't necessarily grow. As we age, more opportunities to grow become available, but it's up to us to acknowledge these opportunities and utilize them. A lifetime spent ignoring these opportunities of growth is unhealthy. I'm sure you can picture an older person with anger and sour ideas still in their minds after all the years and trials this person has experienced. I'm also sure you can picture a young child who is constantly expressing more love than his/her parents. The bottom line is age doesn't matter as much as the opportunities do. You age automatically, but you grow at your own pace. To me age and time are just tools to compliment the reality we live in. An evolutionary planet.
The arguably more powerful tool that compliments evolution is memory. Without memory you are nothing... Can you imagine if you forgot how to walk one day? What about if you suddenly forgot how to drive or how to speak?? These ideas are very unlikely, however, I use them to remind you how powerful memory is. It keeps you moving forward, rather than going backwards or staying neutral. Memory is key in transitioning yourself further. They say you must learn to crawl before you walk and you must learn to walk before you run. If you failed to remember how to walk, then trying to run must seem impossible. Using our memory we can transition ourselves past the limits we put on ourselves. If you have a great memory then you can recall your past and actually use the past effectively towards the future. If you tend to not have a great memory then it seems easy to be in a neutral or even backwards state of progression. As far as I'm concerned memory is our identity. If your memory is forgotten, so is your identity and what makes you, you.
