There is a certain kind of amnesia that lulls us into a false sense of security.
This forgetfulness is not the result of a poor memory. Rather, it is the result of our inability to conjure up an experience of the past in the present moment. When we recall an event, it is only a limited description and not the actual experience itself.
Hence, we have difficulty recalling the emotional impact of even the most painful experiences. After trials and tribulations, we rest easy and often forget that fate can be pitiless.
The best way to prepare for an unknown future is not to slumber in the present moment, but to awaken our faith and courage.
