I'm trying to decipher the age-old adage, is it better to remember or not? I think back on my own experiences. There are the times I reflect fondly as well as the times I regret, and the many times I don't remember at all. But with reflection there always seems to come regret or pain. Much like pleasure/desire seems to encompass either the forbidden or the new. And I'm not just speaking of The Lambada. (I'm sure maybe one of you gets that one.)
So does remembrance consists of pleasure and pain? We reflect and crave the pleasure once felt, while haunted by the pain that will stay forever of those things lost. The cure is simple...something new or something forbidden. Forbidden is wrong thus being forbidden. (Unless you're in a different zip code - then it's okay.) New is different, new is better, new is not the past. If you could go back, you may not need new. But would you go back if you could, knowing new is around the corner?
So obviously I answered that...
