Connect with this piece and think about how memory is Our meaning can not help but sigh. Fragments of memories of our selves make up who we are today. We become who we are today through the people and things that happened in the past, which not only builds up our awareness of the outside world, but also our awareness and understanding of ourselves.
How would it feel if one day these memories gradually fade away uncontrollably?
When we die, our memories die with us. In a sense, the elaborate system of externalized memory we've created is a way of fending off mortality.
That said, it's the phrase in the film that strikes me the most: Live in the moment.
