Memory and emotions.

Remember in "Harry potter" Dumbledore has a bowl filled with memories... I could really use one of those right now! However, I wouldn't know where to begin, Which memory would you store? Could you store emotions too? Would you even want to?

Would it be satisfying to be able to remove certain things from your mind? I am who I am because of history, because of those memories and emotions.. I am who I am because of someone today a friend, my husband even a stranger. It just takes one word to make or break a mood. Would you store that one word?

By storing such things in Dumbledores thing-a-me-jigger (Can't remember what its called) would you in turn be destroying yourself?
