Good morning! Today, we dive into the intriguing world of memory and its selective beauty.

Gabriel García Márquez and Samuel Johnson share profound insights into the nature of memory and attention. Márquez reflects on the heart’s capacity to filter memories, preserving the good and diminishing the bad, highlighting memory's role in shaping our emotional landscape. Johnson reminds us that the essence of memorable experiences lies in our ability to pay attention, suggesting that the depth of our memories is directly linked to the depth of our attention to life's moments.
