The Uselessness and Danger of Memory.

The way that a memory is described lacks the uncontrollable quality particular to that memory's original conception.
In the absence of such a quality, the memory lacks Realness. The individual attempts to contact the Realness of the original appearance by manipulating the qualities of the Conscious Mind. This is called Analysis. It is an exersion of Will which may be a power drive. The psychosomatic effect of this rumination, if not its cause, is a kind of stress. Others will be affected by this. Not all will be conscious of it.
To disregard the Original Intuition by 'disproof' through Analysis is therefore oppressive and foolish.
To become excessively attached to the Memories is as misguided as to use the dead, discarded skin for the purposes one would require a Live Snake for. The only sensible compromise is to live in constant vigilance of the Original Intuition. For this reason, Memory is largely a handicap whose necessity is limited to the practical affairs of Our Current Society. It follows that we should and must limit our dependency upon it, rather than aggrandising it as I've been told the ancient Romans did.
