Quatrain of Remembering All

Remembering All - not good

If you could remember every single
moment of your entire life,
how much better off
would your spirit
be?

You definitely would impress the
world, but you may not find
any more happiness
because of all you
see.

Memory is selective for a reason,
too much of the past affects
how you mold the future
and satisfy
yearning,

It is better to remember only life's
fulfilling information because
for the soul, trivial
remembrance is
discerning.
