UNIQUENESS OF MEMORY STATE

                   Humans in the environment are endowed with an an organ - brain - in their body which registers all the actions performed.  This organ owes its genesis to the womb of the mother and since that time it starts its growth.  But, in certain cases due to various factors an expected normal growth does not happen and as a result congenital disablement sets in.  However, when the organ - brain takes its normal growth a normal person is born.  Eversince  the birth this noirmal person develops and the brain organ develops.  In its growth and functioning it performs a unique and special function of registering what are all seen, heard,read and understood in the phase of the normal life of that person.  Thisa special function is called as memory whcih takes the synonym of recollection, retrospection and reminiscence.                                                              

                      Memory, being related to the brain activity, is essential as  every person has to persom actions commensurate to what has been seen, heard, read and understood by him, thus establishing his identity.  If a person holds fast and retains in his memory all his actions he is said to possess a tenacious memory.  Memory being associated with the brain organ and that being ingrained in  the human body, the state of memory is capable of depleting its power of retention when a person grows old.  This is a natural phenomenon and a feature of senility is attributed and  to beaccepted as a fact.                              

                    When the above phenomenon happens in the old age,  a person forgets about what is seen, heard, read and understood in years before the old age and hence  a question arises whether this tendency is to be encouraged or not.  Normally this tendency should not be encouraged and remedial measures  are to be soiught.to overcome the same for good to happen to that person.  But, at the same time it would befitting if a person forgets that what are all seen, heard, read and understood by him are matters which are not worthy of retention as both functions of retention and loss of retention are performed by that portion of memory in the brain structure.  If this behavioural pattern is adopted all humans would get protection from physiological nd psychological disturbances and this state of cleanliness would enure a enjoyable life. .  .
