Our experience and background most impacts our memory in politics, and the example of Obama's success or failure in the Middle East is a great example. Another is what happened on 1/6/21. Some people say that President Trump incited the riot and sent crowd to The Capital, and others say he did not. The division on that pretty much goes down party lines with Democrats saying that he did and Republicans saying that he didn't (with a few exceptions. In cases like this I often see one side pointing the finger at an injustice they would be turning their back on if the party were reversed. It happens on both sides. I work hard to try and see things from a neutral position, knowing I never really do. (Please note, I'm not commenting on who was right or wrong on either of these events. I have my opinion on them, but that opinion is not important when considering the point of our own clouded judgements)

No, I don't. I don't know why, but I am bad at keeping memories. This is all true, and sometimes, it makes me a little anxious. I easily forgot things. I even forgot what my age is or my birthyear. I easily forgot things to the point I had to ask my mom sometimes if I already had a meal or if I already took a bath on the day. I sometimes forgot things such as what was my vian yesterday, what we talked about just literally minutes ago, or what were the gossips and secrets my friends told me like weeks ago. Do you believe me that at some point (only once though) I even forgot to sleep for the night? I kept answering my assignments and when my mom woke up and cooked, I ate and continued my work. I only remembered when I wondered why I was so sleepy that afternoon. I easily forgot things to the point it is ridiculous.

Another example of Rashomom effect in a common Indian fable.
A blind man heard that curd was very delicious and wanted to try it, so he asked his friend. He told him it was white like a crane. Upon asking what a crane was like, his friend made him touch his arm to feel what a crane was like. The blind man felt sad that he would not be able to eat curd as it felt like an arm! But ofcourse it actually didn t.

If you can t trust your memory, you can t trust yourself to remember this video or its statement that you can t, which means that nothing ever told you not to trust your memory, which means you can trust yourself to remember this video, which you means you remember that you can t trust your own memory once again
Everyone reading this comment: They lost me at the first remember.

In this modern world everybody is similar to the characters mentioned in the movie, everyone's wearing so many masks(not talking about the pandemic though) that you can't tell who is lying and who is not!
