Past Is A PRICE You Pay Off For Future

Past is a PRICE you pay off for Future

Before going to read the article, Let me take some time to test your memory.

What did you eat in the morning for your breakfast? Yeah! You can remember. Probably most of us can answer this easily. What did you eat two days back for your lunch? maybe difficult to recall but not impossible. Now, what did you eat two months back for your dinner? Seems impossible right? It is impossible for most of us (normal human beings) but it is just a minuscule thing for Jill Price. Yes, She can remember all her life. Let us know about her and what is making her unique from others.

Jill price is an American woman. She can recite all the details of the everyday. She is able to think back from the time when she was fourteen years old. She can recall all the events in her life in great detail. She was diagnosed with hyperthymesia. She was the first person to get identified by this kind of mental health issue.

What is this hyperthymesia?

Hyperthymesia is a mental health condition where the affected persons will be able to remember an abnormally large number of their life experiences in vivid detail.

What is so wrong with it? What is an issue in remembering all the things of one’s life? Are these the questions that are running in your mind now? Some of us might have also thought that it would be very nice if they were affected by this mental condition so that they can remember and can recall all the memories they had in their past. Coming to the students, they might have thought that they can recite all lessons they have read for their examinations, and also many of us may perceive this condition as a boon to remember everything that happens to us or the things in our life. But, it is a state where a person can be able to remember all their life irrespective of the bad and good. People affected by this condition cannot delete if they wish to forget the bad experiences they had. It is a curse to remember even the misfortune they had. Sometimes it may lead them to get depressed if the unfortunate they had was highly intensified.

“ Forgetting is one of the god’s gift to humans ”

If Jill recalls the bad fight she had with her friend, she may never forgive her friend throughout life. But for a normal human being like us may forget the fight we may have with our friend after some time or at least after some years and will get back to the good relation. Hence, some things in life are meant to forget and forgive in life. Jill is not blessed with forgetting in her life. If she wishes to let go of the things that are disappointing in her life, that may not be possible for her as easy as for us. We are blessed with an amazing quality of forgetting things. When we read something about any special quality, we generally compare ourselves with them. The same comparison with Jill might have done by you here. This article is not to compare your memory with Jill’s memory but to realize your regular human life is not any less (maybe somewhat better/ peaceful) than hers.
