Right now in the culture category, we’re not writing about the gigabytes on your phone or the storage space in your computer. We’re writing about a different memory – the kind that sparks ideas in the mind, stirs emotions, and inspires creativity. This is the memory that lives in a human’s mind, a resource more powerful than any technology. This memory is our focus today.
March 21, is National Memory Day, we pause to appreciate the power of memory and the critical role it plays in our lives. Our memories shape who we are, providing us with a personal history that guides our actions and our understanding of the world.
It is more than just the ability to recall past events. It’s a non-invaded organ that involves multiple parts of the storing information and involves the working process of ensembling what can be encoded, and retrieved as a form of memory. It’s what enables us to learn new skills, recognize the faces of our loved ones, and remember the lyrics to our favorite songs.
But memory is also fragile. It’s affected by age, stress, and various health conditions. Many of you know someone who has struggled with memory loss, a reminder of how precious this ability truly is.
On National Memory Day, let’s take a moment to appreciate our memories. Let’s remember the places, people, and experiences that have shaped us. So we can continue to cherish these memories in the years to come.
