Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd; Alexander Pope, "Eloisa to Abelard"
A movie made in 2004 about a couple who find themselves hating what they loved about each one. They undergo a medical, or better yet, psychological procedure to erase the memories of the love they felt for each other. Everything goes awry when Joel wants to stop the procedure in his own mind because he finds himself remembering what he loved about Clemetine. Meanwhile, in the outside world, another story unravels and you, the spectator, realize that memories are forming what you are right in this instant. And without them, you would be a different person. You get to think that if the movie was right and you could undergo this procedure, would you go for it? Would you erased what made you cry for weeks or removed that from your life that you would like to forget? Looking for the meaning of Pope's quote some guy on the internet called Robin Patel (correct me if I'm wrong), explained the quote very well and finished it up saying: for one moment try to forget the past and stop worrying about the future. Live this moment for itself, and you will get a sense of my standpoint about this quote".
