Recollections

Have you ever wondered if the past really exists? I mean, did things happen exactly the way you remember them? You believe they did, but maybe they didn't. The human mind collects memories all right, but it also tends to make a selection of what should go into its 'storeroom'. An experience that you enjoyed might be recalled as exceptionally pleasant, with some details enhanced and others minimized or forgotten. On the other hand, an event that caused you uneasiness will be brought back to memory as an awful experience, much worse than it actually was. Therefore...how much can you trust the way you see, even judge, your past? And finally, as this is the way it is, does "the Past" actually exist, or is it a creation that your mind puts together "now"?
