selective memory

searching the web for a good definition of selective memory

got this political metaphor by noam chomsky
it is a wonderful piece
but deeper than I was looking for
as I am more on the level of nim chimpsky

I think we all possess a certain level of selective memory
we all remember being bullied
but do any of us remember doing any bullying?
we all did
even if we did not take someone's lunch money
the older children tease the younger children in the school yard
we were all the younger children who were teased
we all became the older children who did the teasing

still have not found that definition of selective memory
