Mythologies of Memory and Forgetting

I our world every culture has its own way of remembering the past to determine what the future will bring or look like.  At times remembering the negative or more terrifying situations in life seems to be easier. We often times are able to recall the more difficult times in our lives first before recalling more stable or joyful happenings.  It is easy to forget happy times in your life when you are faced with daily struggles.  These struggles seem to take the for front of our minds.  Fighting to remember good along with the bad and finding a balance between the two helps, creates balance and harmony in the happenings around you.  What we think we know can only change when we focus on where and what we have been through.
