The Eternal That Lies Beneath

If you could erase all of the painful memories, memories that saddens your soul which will eventually shower your cheeks with tears and move on with life as if these memories did not exist. Would you? I was watching this movie starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet (don't ask me the title of the movie...I have no memory of it unfortunately :p) Anyway, I only started watching the second half of the movie so forgive me I didn't really understand the whole storyline of the movie... but I know it's something about erasing one's memory.HEe... :)

So, back to the question, would you? Truthfully, sad painful memories tends to linger a lil longer at the back of our minds am I not right? So, why not? Why not just drink some green coloured memory vanquishing potion or strap youself to a device and just hit the 'erase' button? End all the pains and regrets once and for all.

As cliche as it sounds, I'd rather not. I'd rather live with what I have. As haunting as it is, it's what keeps me going. A memory that will make me cry evey once in a while, or a memory that will make me realise certain things I did not realise before... memories are meant to be with us forever. Some very vivid and some that would fade away in time... but some we would carry with us eternally.

Silencing our memories yet keeping them very much alive and aloud but never try to erase them. :)
