刻骨銘心的記憶

Also available in 廣東話, and 官話

我不是甚麼攝影師,我的名字不是杜可風。不懂得怎麼去拍照給女人一看就覺得浪漫,更加不太喜歡被人照我的臉。 見到漂亮風景也不會立即想起要拍下來。你見到我這個網站也是很少照片。就如 George Clooney 在 “Up in the Air”所說的: “Pictures? Those are for people who can’t remember.” 我也是這樣想。所以我記甚麼的時候會記到刻骨銘心。可是也是因為這樣,好多不開心的回憶也同樣的都記得很刻骨銘心。而且因為我是一個很懷舊的人,那些回憶(無論是好的或者壞的)都會很容易的想起來。

  1. But what i think is : pictures? those are for people who want to really refresh their feelings from time to time & want to remember events more detailly~
    don’t u think……feelings are not alway the same while you look back at the same event from the different stage/period of yr life?

  2. Thank you for your kind comments. However, I just don’t feel the need to use pictures to remember things in detail. In fact, by doing so, it forces me to remember things more clearly (for the better or for the worse). Kinda’ like tribes that don’t have a writing system. Whenever they have develop a contract between tribes, they do it orally, and flesh every detail out. On the downside, re-negotiations have to happen more often. However, nations with writing systems write out contracts, and then their lawyers like to interpret it so many different ways, they end up going to war anyways. (What I’m trying to say, is that, there are pluses and minuses to each system of having picture/writing system, but not having pictures works for me).

    What you’re describing is a hermeneutic process to re-interpret past events. For me, it’s more like time traveling back into the past in the exact position and moment, reliving every bit. I think this is a more personal way of remembering things, and allows me to have a deeper connection to my own memories. Interpretations take a back seat. Not saying they don’t happen, they just aren’t as high of a prerogative. However, when I reach the point of re-interpreting my own memories, it seems that I become very distant from them, and in some ways, it takes away something. Sure, the good thing is that it’ll take away pains of bad memories, but at the same time, it takes away the good stuff in the good memories.

    Please let me know what you think.
