@DBT9 I remember reading some research (sorry no ref.
) where testing was done on people over a number of years of simple events related - and the re-telling changed over the years. People are unable to 'stick to a story-line' - their memory, or possibly their active experience of life and further accumulation of knowledge/information impact even their memories.
Difficult to prove, of course, but I have a family member who has distinctly different memories of events the rest of us remember in a totally different way - also the 'telling of which' has changed over the years. I am literally at my wits end, as I am the long-lasting receiver/listener etc, but i also know I am not alone, as I have seen some research on this over the years. It is not our memory which is faulty, but our added learning - possibly ensuing trauma events - make us change events from the past to fit ??? a certain agenda, a moral concept, a romantic concept??
We are great tellers of tales . . .
Go well
