All's well that ends well...

Memory is a very interesting thing. Check out my recent blog: Memory is Fiction by Jonah Lehrer.

Add that to a recent TED video I watched on the Experiencing self and the Remembering self and there is lots to think about.

The experiencing self may have had a horrible experience (say, a long painful operation) but if the operation ended with little pain, the remembering self will give the operation much better marks than someone who had a shorter, much less painful operation but one that ended on high pain.
How does that affect the classroom, or the sermon/worship experience or the regular meeting you have to attend? Seems that it is very important to pay attention to how things end.
