What do you think gets better with age?
A memory gets better with age. An ordinary event can become charming, then with time it’s embellished, eventually becoming sacred and almost holy. Negative memories can also change, often becoming exaggerated or rationalized. The past is either vilified or justified. Memories have a tendency to be distorted and categorized as a product of an era, the good old days, history, explained away, and sensationalized. I wish we didn’t have to embellish our memories, but I think that it’s part of how memories survive.
