Memory - One word that encompasses within itself so much. Memory is not just the tool in your brain that you reach out to when you have to prepare for an exam. Instead it is the phenomenon upon which your whole life functions.
From learning new things to feeling love for our friends and family members, memory enables us to wade our way through life. It is our armor against all the things that life throws at us. It is due to the power of our memory that we are able to make sound, logical decisions. Without it, we would literally be lost in the mayhem of life.
Then what happens when we feel our memory slipping away? Or fear that it will one day slip away? When we can't clearly remember the names of the children of our cousins or when we are unable to distinguish one road from another. What then? It surely is a horrifying thoughts.
