    Good question. I’m going to think about it and respond later.

    I was thinking about this.

    How well do you think you KNOW what happened to YOU yesterday? Please provide examples.

    I don’t think it’s even a case of remembering it all, or forgetting it, it’s also how you perceive it, and how you remember it. Perception and memory are both highly subjective.

    I wonder if there will be a time in the eternities when we will all know beyond a shadow of doubt the truth of ALL things. What do you all think?

    This would require that we all actually experience our life in a single, absolute, objective reality. And that”s a whole ‘notha can-o-worms / philosophical debate.

    Maybe this has already been trotted out in this thread, but I recommend reading hawkgrrrl’s enlightening essay on a closely related topic referenced here.
