I know it's kinda dark but true.

I always thought that its a good idea to live for the moment. You know, the "be here now " philosophy. So if we can't remember at least we can rest in peace with the thought that we did it as best as we could. Perhaps we need to write that down somewhere so we can remind ourselves when we have forgotten, as long as we remember where we put it.....?

I believe that the point is to live your life so you could be happy enough until you time have come. Even though you might not remember it, it is best to live your life to the full capacity that you would like it to be like. It is best to keep your life and yourself happy until the very end. Otherwise what is the point of living?

"It'll be a great memory" is primarily a justification for what amounts to a very short-term diversion, rather than an actual motivation to do something.

We don't do the things that make great memories for the purpose of making great memories, at least most of the time. We do the things that make great memories because great memories tend to come from great experiences, however transient. The memories are more of a side effect.

A pragmatist will note the transience of these pleasant experiences, and will generally hold that their transience means they are not worth the costs (financial or otherwise) of experiencing them. The memory argument is typically used as a justification here; even if the experience is momentary, the memories last for most of a lifetime.

"Creating memories together" is another form of this, which is primarily (though not always) more concerned with establishing or reinforcing bonds between individuals. Creating the memories are merely a side effect of the actual intent in most cases, but it's far more pleasant to say that one wants to do something with you to "create a new memory with you" than it is to say that one wants to do the same to "establish an emotional bond with you."

There are, of course, exceptions, where creating memories is the primary goal. This is most frequently the case with a family member who knows he or she will be dying soon, or at the very least will be facing serious life-threatening situations- it's most frequently a parent with a young child when this is the goal; a terminally ill parent who is still mobile but expects to lose mobility soon might want to create memories for their child while they still can- a military parent who is to be deployed to a very dangerous area might want to do the same.

As the years roll by with increasing rapidity there comes a point in everyone's life when they spend more time reminiscing about ''the good old, bad old'' days than they do trail blazing, discovering new experiences or falling madly in love. In this context, the more colourful and romantic the past, the more vivid and richer the memories will be. Much better than Sky television.

The premise is not entirely acceptable.

You will mostly be able to remember your wonderfully blissful life, eternally.

Hi Jolie, I don't who voted you down, but it sure wasn't me. I guess there's no accounting for taste so I've just given you an up vote.
