I’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now. ~ Sophia Loren ~ [Source]
Humans are humans. We have memories; good and bad. None of us wants to remember the time when we stole that pen because we were poor and couldn’t afford it because we needed a new pen for school. It is even more horrible when we could have said something for Mary because she was accused of not calling an important customer when Joe was the one who was undermining her efforts because he wanted to get that promotion.
There comes a time when our memory starts failing. The disease is called dementia and it affects mostly elderlies. Some of the causes of dementia:
- Diseases that cause degeneration or loss of nerve cells in the brain such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.
- Diseases that affect blood vessels, such as stroke, which can cause a disorder known as multi-infarct dementia.
- Infections that affect the brain and spinal cord, such as AIDS dementia complex and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
- Certain types of hydrocephalus, an accumulation of fluid in the brain that can result from developmental abnormalities, infections, injury, or brain tumors.
- Head injury — either a single severe head injury or longer term smaller injuries, like in boxers.
While the above-mentioned sounds severe, we can do something for boosting our memories. Take the time to write down your thoughts or things that you have planned for the day. Students needing to memorise the information can try the methods from Text Transformer.

Memory is a part of our health and we want to keep them there as long as we can.
