Does what you remember influence your outlook?
I have a question to ask. My wife and I are proceeding (quite rapidly) into old age and both of us have noticed a surprising correlation in our memories. We quite often watch movies on TV, many of which we have seen before (that happens when you get old). The fact is that we often do not remember having seen a particular movie when we dislike the movie. Usually, we realize that we have seen the particular movie late in the presentation; very much consistent with the observation that we are not going to like how this is going to turn out. This has lead us to the idea that we must be forgetting unhappy experiences. I am curious as to whether or not others have perceived such a correlation. It certainly might explain why we are so happy with our lives. Actually, we seem to be much happier then most of the people we know. Is this little more than forgetting unhappy experiences?
Just an observation -- Dick
