The Real Tragedy


I pray hard that I'd never forget how this picture made me feel. Gerald Brenan ; "The real tragedy of life is that we forget. Happy moments come and go, our friends die, everything in the end is destroyed. But this could be endured if only a purer and sharper reflection were kept. Forgetfulness is the real death, for if there is anything we can save and hoard up, it is our memories. All the substances of our life is in them, so that to cease to recall, and be affected by our past experience, is to suffer a diminishment of our personality."
