...our memory is enhanced by the emotion attending the event. The more intense the feelings the more accessible to the memory is the event. Few of us live lives so emotionally charged that we can truly, accurately retrieve all of it. ...Often only our crisis events are preserved with strong emotions.

I could either do what that other boy had done, or I could spend the rest of my life outside society, where it was safe ↗
