Can blinking make one forget.

An answer to ... an swer ...where did that word come from?

You Must Remember This: Forgetting Has Its
Benefits By MELINDA BECK Melinda Beck at HealthJournal@wsj.com

After reading her article, I was faced with the choice of joining the discussion only if I agreed to subscribe to the wall street journal. Well, no. Not that many articles are to my liking, but most are not. I would order a set of articles that I was interested in...otherwize...I will catch a few, free, now and then. Lets see...when I order or subscribe...I am helping someone sell or advertise something, so selling the whole Wall Street Journal does not make ad sense because selling fewer of the articles that are of interest might include all the ads that are in the larger copy. Hummm...a thought on news.

Now, back to her article.

I have decided that forgetting is really not forgetting at all, but a recreation of facts that we choose to store in an empty portion of the brain that has neurons that have tiny pathways. To compare...think of the path of cattle through a field by cattle constantly taking the same route home, and tiny little rabbit paths that cross them from time to time as we walk through our mind and to get to the forgotten, one must take an even smaller path of a sugar ant (piss ant).

I don't think very many people would be able to find their way back to the piss path, but the cattle path is very nearly like a people path, so we could find that one if we had a mind to wander through the meadow of our mind and memories.

I suppose a happening can be imagined to be carried by cattle, rabbits, and tiny ants. We choose the importance based on emotions. We know we all have many emotions, but which emotion would one imagine to be the one that causes and elephant path. A destructive rogue elephant path...it seems it would be something science could study, if there is ever enough money in the government to seem another study of any kind.
