Sometimes one event causes another. In such cases, the first event is often the result of a previous event that led to it. For example, if you roll a die and get a 3, that result already includes the number 3 on the die. If that’s the case, then we should consider that the number of ‘beings born’ in this world is very small compared to ‘things that never came into existence.’ ‘Coincidence’ is thinking that something can happen randomly, and ‘intention’ is excluding the birth of other things to make it happen. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In neuroscience , ‘ memory ’ and ‘ forgetting ’ are regarded as the same concept. ‘ Remember ’ presupposes ‘forgetting,’ and ‘remembering’ can lead to ‘forgetting.’ Memory is generally categorized into ‘ semantic memory ’ and ‘ autobiographical memory .’ We do not know when or how we learned that Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. This is referred to as semantic memory, which does not involve an attempt to remember. In contrast, autobiographical memory involves an effort to recall a fact that has been personally experienced. Both types of memory entail forgetting. Semantic memory omits the process of acquiring knowledge, while autobiographical memory strives not to forget. Studying entails the process of retaining or forgetting these two types of memory. When the distinction between them is unclear, we mistakenly presume that others have taken our thoughts and experiences. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
