Tonight Torchwood dealt with an alien who was from "the void" and infiltrated himself into the team by implanting memories and resurrecting others. It makes me wonder on my own memories which like tonight's blog pic, are somewhat distorted and appear to me as if I am looking in at them from the outside. I have always thought my memories were the result of my subconscious trying to protect me. But what if it is not so simple as that. What if I have re-shaped the memories to what I want them to be in order to rationalize my distancing myself from people. What if I have consciously manipulated memories to be less hurtful than the truth. How do I resurrect the truth from the distortions to move on in the right direction.
Even more puzzling to me is, does it matter? Does it matter if your memories are peppered with editorializing? Does it matter if you are living your life based on misperceptions and falsehood of your own creation? Torchwood did not have an answer. Neither do I.
