RE: The Blockchain Memory Project. Why it is so wonderful and so special to be able to record your memories on the blockchain. Part 1
Welcome back! Good to hear your mother is doing better!
Funny while even I forgot so many things during history classes, when you were writing about the first Dutch female student, her name immediately popped back into my head without even the name. Some things do make an impression I guess.
Also I thought a while back how life would look like if I would live in a different century. Well, I used to have -6,5 glasses before getting my eyes lasered. So I think if I was born in the prehistoric times I would have been abandoned by the heard because I wasnt able to collect berries, and most likely would be eaten by a bear hahahahah.
No doubt about that:) I always think, when people say it was so much better in the past, that they should have lived, really lived in ancient times, middle ages or even the 19e century. Many would not even be alive at the age they have now. They would miss so much they are used too in the 21st century.
Even when we're younger. We had fond memories of certain parts of our childhood and people say "I wish I could do that all over again"
For instance, I just to love watching spiderman cartoons before going to school each morning. They would come on at 5am when I was a kid. I'd get up extra early to watch them.
Well as an adult I watched one, and I shrugged my shoulders, and it didn't appeal to me the same way.
They way we understand and perceive life as we get older mans that "things we thought was so much better in the past" also came with things we didn't realize we were missing out on either. Going back to the past might bring new frustrations that we take for granted today.
Gee, @clio, you always get me thinking. :)
Thank you @intelliguy for the compliment.
It is something strange, your own past. You only remember the special things that have happened and there is also nostalgia. Most people see their past in a warm light. Not when, of course, bad things happened, but otherwise the past will be filtered. A nice example is your spiderman cartoons. I hope you thought (when you looked at them again) about the fun moments that you had as a child and that you did not think: "oh, I wasted my time".
BTW, I think it would have been a little weird if you had still liked them as much as when you were a kid, don't you think?
