I thought of writing something about human memory. I think human memory plays a vital role in deciding someones happiness. I am Happy today because I have the power to forget bad things and remember only good things.But unfortunately this logic does not work all the time because some times we will not be able to forget few bad things even after trying N number of times. We just cant delete few bad memories that comes back again and again to haunt us. Sometimes I wonder what is the logic in the brain that decides to store something and to delete something else. Life would have been so beautiful if I had the power to decide on things that needs to be converted from short term memory to long term memory. This would have helped me in deleting all bad things and remember only good things. But deleting all bad things is not a good idea cause I need to know my mistakes to avoid repeating it.
My grandfather was gifted with a diseases in his old age. His brain has erased all long term memory data. So he was able to store all short term data but not long term. He was a very happy man because he did not had any bad memories but I don't think he had any good memories either. His mood was constant all the time unlike us ( Neither happy nor sad...).
I was told that few thousands of memory cells will be getting erased every day inside human brain and at any point of time we can use only 6-7 % of our total memory capacity. That's weird to have only 6% of memory usage. But trust me thats a boon given by god to our race. Atleast I think like that.
