I've been thinking maybe these memories are a way to warn us of our past mistakes, so that we can be better versions of ourselves this time.

But then I guess we'd have to worry about what that means.

That is the nature of ALL things past, even the most conservative or conventional: to learn from them.

I wouldn't put too much stock in it, however. You'll twist yourself in knots trying to find meaning in moments that may well have been fluke or happenstance, or that you do not fully understand the significance or manner of.

Yeah, you're probably right, there. I guess I just have more resolve now, to try harder and be more wary.
