BxB · Forgotten history bits

in #blog5 years ago

Most people are prone to forget about everything, whether it is people, places, actions, history, and that is one of the best flaws that the 'elites' use against us, our deliberate "memory loss", but I'll leave it be only adding, that I do agree we must do our best to live in truth, conscientiously in the present moment for it is the only real one, but also know that one who forgets the past are condemned to repeat the same mistakes over and over again..

Pretty much, one of the few things that deserve praise, and I'm not even sure if the tree was actually planted by the priest, from what I've heard, folks were the ones who did it..

This was actually what made me want to take these photographies, a remnant of some memories / experiences acquired in my youth, when I was 4 or 5 Years old, got the privilege of listening the folks who worked there, a couple of well self educated people who read a lot of books and had a lot of good knowledge, who deliberately helped people not caring about making money for their business.. Those who will be forgotten and should be the ones receiving a tribute, not the Jesuit priest who got everything from the people by doing 'nothing', thief!! While the ones who worked hard and indeed helped people, where scorned when they were in need of help due to an act of arson..


You all,

Ohh, wasn't talking about 'You' particularly x), but I do get that You might identify with what I've said, most people if honest with themselves will, I did before =× ..

And it's is normal to an extent to forget about some stuff, depending on the attention given to the specific event when it happens, the intensity of the event, and the personality of the individual that experiences the event. The more 'intense' events are not easily forgotten because they have provoked a mental and physical (chemical) reaction, plus, people tend to relive mentally over and over again the same memories (specially the bad ones), and totally let slip the most important things..

But nothing that a bit of training won't solve, try to memorize a card deck turning over card by card, then, try do the same but mentally envision a walking route You know very well, and place each card as a "person" in windows, doors, benches, etc, and check if You've remembered more of them.. It won't make You forgetting stuff but will help, plus learn to meditate if You don't already, and try Your best to live in the present moment in awareness, that might help a lot..

Sorry about my tl; dr; but it might be useful ;)
Thank You for commenting, cheers mate
