Memories

Memories, to a scientist just a collection of neural processes and chemicals t recall past events. To the elderly, fleeting moments of happiness soon becoming blank. To everyone past moments in our life we are able to recall at will. But thinking further, what are they. Can all these times in our life we remember just be neurons recalling information? IS it something deeper? It will depend on the person you ask. Some people will stretch to find something deeper, not wanting t believe that is just chemicals and wiring in us. That humans are deeper than that, that our proverbial soul is the reason for our individuality and personality. Call me a scientific person or a non-believer, but I am with science. I see nothing wrong with admitting that our memories and everything about us is ingrained in our bodies. We were built for survival and the recalling of past experience is a mechanism for keeping us alive.
A memoir, a collection of all our most important memories. A loose autobiography of sorts.
