A long memory
I’ve had enough of you praising yourself for having a long memory. Nuts to your long memory! A long memory is not a Christian virtue. Having a long memory is one of the chief reasons why there is so little change in the behaviour of men and women – like the men and women we’re married to - like our children. Our long memory doesn’t allow us to credit the small changes and improvements people make. We are constantly hearkening back to what they did years ago and reminding them of this. Our long memory makes us the eternal observer. I’m sorry, Millie. There’s only one Eternal Observer in the Universe and it isn’t you. Our long memory doesn’t actually record the past misdeeds of people. It nails their feet to the floor and makes it impossible for them to change.
