"记忆是一种陷阱,纯粹而简单;它会改变,会巧妙地重新安排过去以适应现在。"
— Mario Vargas Llosa
Simplified Meaning:
Our memories are not always accurate because they can change over time. When we remember something, our mind might twist the details to match our current feelings or situation. For example, if someone had a tough childhood but is now happy, they might remember their past as not being so bad. This happens because our brain tries to make our past experiences fit with how we feel now. So, it’s important to understand that our memories might not tell the full truth. Knowing this can help us not to be too hard on ourselves or others based on how we remember things.
