A SUMMARY
In the video, Daniel Kahneman talks about our experience and memory differ and the difference affects our happiness. The first reason he suggest is while experience itself lives in present, remembering itself keeps score and maintain story of the life. Therefore, remembering self is a story teller and we keep our experiences depends on these memories. In addition, Story from remembering itself changes important moment and ending, and it has great impacts on people’s memory. Furthermore, since the concept of time is very different between experience and remembering since time plays no role in forming memory in our experience, but in remembering, even a few times is important to handle our memories. What’s more, Remembering allows people to choose certain memories among our experience, but experience has no choice to choose what we choose. Remembering plays important role in our thinking about future because people consider future as anticipated memory rather than experience. Therefore, we should know that happiness is more related to how we remember the moment of our experience and remembering cannot accompany with experience.
Summary
It is amazing that we cannot attend both remembering and events at the same time. In other words, with some parts of experience, we tend to judge the experience was wonderful or dreadful. I agree with his idea that our tendencies are related to our happiness. The fact that we can choose memory can be advantages or disadvantages. The disadvantages are people tend to consider small parts that make them disturb as a whole experience. The advantage is that if we try to have good memory, we can have more wonderful experiences in our life. From now on, I will strive not to consider small things make me unpleasant as ruined experiences.
