If you had amnesia??

Question

if you had amnesia would you want the memories that you once had back again (regardless of being good or bad). [i know it doesn't make sense but just imagine]

Answer 1

You mean would you rather start from scratch as an adult?  I don't think so.  Your memories define who you are as a person.  Imagine having no memory of your first kiss, your mother, pets, etc.

Answer 2

I would want every minute of it back regardless of good or bad.

Answer 3

Well, you wouldn't remember them so how would you know if you wanted them back or not?

I suppose you would want to remember things but it might not make as much difference to you as it would to your loved ones - they would realise it more if you forgot them.

Answer 4

some people have partial amnesia just because of the bad past memories ... eg blank pages of their childhood ... then getting these memories back might bring a relief and understanding or it might lead to h**l of never ending pain ... you never know

total amnesia ... I would skip the bad memories and all good ones that are connected to them - and I could start who knows whose life over
