There are really two things that make us unique individuals, full of personally, charm, and wit. Those two things are your name, and your experiences, which are comprised of all our memories. It can really be hurtful when something from our past experience was so meaningful to us that we've placed it carefully and tenderly into long term memory, yet not nearly as meaningful to someone else that they've forgotten it. It impacts our identity of ourselves.
Very nice write up.
@wwwiebe, that's brilliant! You've worded it better than I ever could! Needless to say, I completely agree with it.
