Outstanding. Familiarity is a double-edged sword: It’s comfortable, but it can also be boring. Novel experiences combat the dull edge of routine and make for enduring, positive memories...

Recency. We also tend to remember events and experiences that happened most recently, so it’s wise to bring special attention to the last interactions we have with family each day. Close the day with your family just as you started it: with loving words and sweet sentiments.

With mindfulness and a willingness to shift our behaviors to play to the power of memory, we can create our own rituals to bring more intimacy to our closest relationships.

I always find it intriguing how Japanese anime interpret or give special meaning to the wish of being remembered. It seems to play a major role in many stories and the more psychedelic or philosophical ones take it even as the core of their story: one does not exist if one is not being remembered.

The protagonists and antagonists emphasize not only their wish to be recognized and respected for their strength. They also worry about their significance to the world around them. Strangely enough, they are not satisfied with things we normally would consider as confirmation, like nametags, possessions, statues. Instead they search for proof in the minds of others, whether friend or foe, to see i...

yes, good clip.
Just simply making the effort, being present, looking for the good instead of the bad, etc. There are so many ways to better things between you, it's not hard to think of something.

Thanks Antara! I remember the first time I watched the movie, it was around 3 o'clock in the morning after a late night out. My friends who had come with me all fell to sleep, but boy was I awake. I couldn't sleep for hours after that!
