Upsets & Letdowns: The Acceptable Taste of Bitterness

In a sense life is like a series of memories grouped together. Throughout our existence we all have positive and negative experiences. One day I was thinking to myself, “new memories somewhat replace old ones.” I highly doubt that I’m the only person to ever have had this notion. You can’t really remove your recollections, but merely suppress them. Therefore, the more good memories we have, the more likely they’ll substitute for the bad ones. By creating better memories, the “upsets and letdowns” of our pasts become less predominant.
