"You Can't Bulldoze A Memory"

[ZELLEY]

As a follow-up to the late BOBIN's statement, "You can't bulldoze a memory"
(see Moral For Today)
What changes have taken place, but the way it was is still a golden memory for you.

Some water related memories include - the collapse of the 2nd. Narrows Bridge & the Blowing-up of Ripple Rock.

Then there was the Flood in Port Alberni caused by a Tidal Wave.

The amount of times in lakes,streams, rivers, oceans etc are countless
- swimming, fishing, boating and even running on log booms.

Some years ago, they bulldozed my old elementary school -
it was a sweet brick building.
However, the borrowed statement from a Mr. Bobin,
"you can't bulldoze a memory" is a timeless expression.

and quitefalse for any of you who have been victims of accusations of false memory syndrone

OH yes Memories can and are bulldozed
every day

the child poisoned by one parent ove another to gain favor and steal the pleaseant memories shared betwen a father and child

The case of the false memory syndrome is subject to debate. But, the one with false memory is the one that's real memory is buried deep within. But, hopefully before that person "crosses the bar" the light switch will be turned on. If the one that they had a false negative memory
of has passed away, then that presents another significant problem for that person and those living family members.

But, real memories cannot be buried forever, only hidden.
Potential memories of things or events that will never happen,
due to circumstances in life, are hopes, wishes and dreams.
Sadly, through disaster or disease or disability, shattered dreams may become never ending nightmares, hope turns to hoplessness or hate,
and the scattered wishes are scattered down the endless roads known as despair, destruction, and darkness.

Do you know of any who have been falsely accused?

there is no "debate" lives have been ruined due to planted memories

Facts are not debatable.

and even if one contests the false memory and show's it to be false , have they regained anything.

perhaps you want to debate the memories are not false?

Thanks to those that read the thread and to those that contributed views.
As the original quote was from a old bookseller recalling life and times in an old arcade that was bulldozed in the name of progress, the
words must stand on their own.

As some look back through their wasted years, even they can share a golden memory, For some life is a "bowl of cherries" with
"peaches & cream" for others it's "forty miles of bad road".

From the words on an album cover of a group called
"Big Country":
"Some days last a thousand years. Some pass like a flash of a spark.
Nowone knows which way it will all end".

But a heavy duty bulldozer sure would be welcome in some cases.
