Experience vs. Memory

Recommended Posts

I think that you guys will get a kick out of this. Daniel Kahneman describes individuals as having two seperate selves. The experiencing self and the memory self. He talks about a significant difference between being happy IN your life vs. being happy ABOUT your life. They are distinctly different.

 

People associate far too much with the story of their lives rather than their life as it is experienced.

"I suppose its a bit like discovering the truth... some find an error and avoid it while some stay and fixing it..."

 

The problem is there and people love to just cover it up. Or even ignore the question all together.. What am I? Delve into the moment and find out :D

Some forms can hurt like heck when you begin with them but once you get used to them - no more pain - only gain.

Remember that 'recovered memories' craze a few years ago?

That sure brought a few whackos out of the woodwork.

I wonder if this idea is on similar lines.
