Impression and Memory - we are afraid
When you put a rubber stamp, it is an impression. If it remains there, it is a memory. Now you see, we are being impressed by so many things we see – an accident, we are afraid; a dead body, we are afraid; somebody bleeding, we are afraid. We have nightmares. That is, impression is too strong; we cannot remove. So we must clean away every day.
