I choose to see the glass as the wrong size for my amount of wine.

It is possible that you are not old enough yet.

That means nothing to me.
Not saying it’s wrong, but I don’t resonate with that, even vaguely.

I agree with that.

You can choose to see the glass as half empty or half full.

Arpana says:
“Interesting though that people particularly, remain, don’t age, in our pictorial memory, along with us;…”

And that is why we like to see people who knew us when we were young. We can see ourselves through their eyes.

I don’t advocate free will. What I say is that I have an option in what movie to watch… while most think there is only one movie.

Interesting though that people particularly, remain, don’t age, in our pictorial memory, along with us; which is why memory can burn so much, unless we do something about it, as in the memory of being kicked in the goollies playing rugby at fourteen by that fourteen year old ratbag, still irks, even though the age gap has become rather wide and some.

I was reading a while ago that when we recall memories we do not actually recall the original event, but rather we recall the last time we recalled that memory!

So over time our memories are subject to ‘Chinese whispers’ type deviations.

It seems evolution has given us a memory good enough to find food and keep us out of trouble. The need to reminisce with a friend about the ‘old days’ without an argument starting does not seem to have been a priority.

You mean, you believe we have free will?
