I'm just arguing with it 'out loud' perhaps. :} Certainly what I see as my challenge is .. well on one hand, impossible: to maintain the <em> original</em> innocence of the memories - to keep them unsullied by current knowledge.

If you focus on discerning every bitter deail of a bad memory then you are using your "hard eyes". If you choose to enjoy the sweetness of a good memory then you are using your "soft eyes". Now suppose you decided to view all memories, both good and bad ones with your "soft eyes". There are two ways to look at memories and then move forward.
