Beautiful reminder: memory lives through us, not behind us

Bill,

This speaks to me about the difference between "it happens" and "I have choice."

"I remembered" puts the return of the memory outside of our control. "I remind myself" says that I have a choice to revisit this memory.

I greatly appreciate this distinction. So often now, the former mindset seems to take precedence, especially in my work in the realm of AI. For example, "AI is costing jobs." No. In fact, leaders are choosing to eliminate jobs and replace people with technology.

Thank you!

The phrase you used "ever inward I remember." It makes me the reader reflect and think about these times.

My question is how do we avoid the ever escalating effects that humanity is so adept at pressing?
