What are memories worth?

While we are young we are able to absorb massive

amounts of information and process them quickly.
As we get older, our ability to handle large quantities

of information begins to recede, and we

only wish to simplify and take it in smaller doses.

We are still needing to process that which is

hiding in the recesses of our minds, and

the feelings clinging to it.

Memories are information waiting to be relived.

Memories are friends, sweethearts, enemies

or events that made a strong impression at the time.

Ah, how easy it is for the young to pull up a clear sharp memory.

Old people find the details of memory slipping

away from them. Without the memories

they become lonely empty shells needing to be

loved, needing fulfillment.

What is a memory worth?

To some the memories are meaningless.

To others, memories are priceless.

Who of us will remember today

when it turns into yesterday?

Don't throw the memories away.
