Memories 

We use cameras to take pictures, these pictures then become memories, which are then stored in a digital form in a drive.

Technology is great , but sometimes technology takes away the element of remembering. 

Why ? I'll share my thoughts...

When we remember things, there is a chemical reaction that takes place. 
We give meanings to things we attach ourselves to and much of these deposits are in our heart. 

Technology has brought us a device which we can use to snapshot a moment within time; the camera. We now have, what one would say as 'digital memories' which are digitally stored.

I wondered, what if people forget, and find it difficult to bring out memories from within which they captured through their imaginations.

So, here's my thought, if individuals now rely on digital storage of memories than the memories of remembrance / imaginations which involves a deeper sense of mediation on a particular frame of time, then I believe people will soon forget how it is to have emotions , or even relate to one another. 

I'm not sure overall, how this effects the condition of the heart for the individual but surely it should be a contributor as to why many find it difficult to hold unto the good things / experiences / times. 

Our imagination is powerful, yet the most ignored because many feel there is no value in imagination. Imagination causes you to see , and draws you to a desired destination. If a person cannot imagine, then that individual will have a grey/ dull life. 

Why am I saying all this?

I am saying these things because people are forgetting how to love. People are forgetting how to care, people are losing their sense of touch towards one another. 

Memories have faded away from within because an easier way to store memories has been created (which are rarely visited as they are digitally stored away). No one tries to remember anymore. People's remembrance of how to love has been taken away. 

It is remembering that makes a person remain.  People break-up , divorce , get angry , shout at one another etc because they have forgotten the love they had for one another. 

Love is the greatest of all.

Jesus , the bread and the cup. 

As Christians, we break the bread and drink the cup in remembrance of him (Christ). 

We do these things , that we do not forget that his death was life to the new testament in his blood. We cannot forget, hence why we do these things. 

My love to you all.
Don't forget one another. Love one another and cherish another.  

God bless you ♥️
