But winners have always had that privilege, haven't they?
We all re-write our history. It was never as miserable as miserable people remember it.
It was never as good as happy people remember it.
We don't store complete details. We store impressions, smells, rough ideas.
We can go back and discover there were good lessons in bad things that happened, and then we turn bad memories into good memories about how we became better people.
The past is largely fictional
If I asked you how many right turns you make every day on your way to work, could you answer? And that one is easy.
A Budhist monk was kept waiting for many weeks to see the Master. Finally, one day the Master's apprentice came to him and said you may go see the Master now.
The monk had to climb a mountain with many steps to see the Master.
When the monk reached the top, the Master said, "Tell me how many steps you had to climb, and I will answer your questions".
