Memory Can Not Be Trusted


I love chatting with my twin about our memories. What we found: 
  • We remember events differently. This makes sense because we were different people with different feelings and experiences and personalities.
  • We have forgotten events that the other remembers. "Don't you remember when Dad said …?" "Uh, no. What was that about?"
  • And when we do remember, we realized that half the time we got the memory wrong.
This isn't just about age. Memory can not be trusted.
