The Tyranny of Memory

The Tyranny of Memory.

It's difficult to understand why so much attention is paid to memory. You never forget to collect your salary; you never forget to buy your cigarettes. You never forget the things you want to remember. It looks as though this memory stuff is just a gag to make you efficient and thoroughly unhappy. There is an old song entitled “Tis folly to remember, ‘tis wiser to forget.”

No wonder the old songs never die.
