Sometimes also the past (if something bad has happened). It'd be easier being a fish...or an amoeba.

I wish our minds could remember our past lives.
I'm not sure I ever saw an happy looking fish.

Yes, but think what you'd lose - good things as well as bad. Which makes me think of Alzheimer's and my mother and ... Oh, why did I start this!
But you can say similar about the future: What about pleasant anticipation or hope?
I believe we get another life after we die.I might come back as a dog or a leaf or a swiss roll.

Azlheimer really is an awful thief my grandmother has it and its a struggle.
It's an absolute nightmare. I could write a book about the problems I had with my mother.

Selective blocking would be good sometimes. Alzheimers/Dementia can is horrible. Sadly if a person has experienced something terrible in their past, it can cause them think it is current and "relive" it in a way...but I'm getting way off topic here.

Don't know how to explain this, but it's really funny and rather enlightening and everyone should read it. (Plus it has pictures!)
Just read iot and it's brilliant. A lot I can identify with and the pictures are hilarious.
