Memory is on my mind. We are trying to help an older family member with memory problems. I have my own. I heard a social worker say once that no one has fully integrated memory. Made the off-hand remark recently, “what are we but our memories?”
But we are more. Every new day matters. I was bothered by a line in Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” when the hero says something like, “you can take my soul, but don’t take my reputation.” Disagree. We are more than what the world thinks of us.
Whether what the world thinks is right or wrong.
