I think this can be split both ways. At times, it can help to have memories of someone to remember everything, and there are good memories to remember the good times in life. But sometimes memories can make a person more upset about the situation than they already are, and make everything so much harder to deal with. I can say that with memories, everything can be more peaceful, but then again, when remembering them...it makes things harder again.

I don't think it would be easier if we didn't have memories because most of the time good memories out number the bad ones and if you had no memories than you would forget the good ones and the bad ones. Also sometimes memories can make you stronger and maybe help some people connect with each other.

No, if people didn't have memories there would be no light to the situation. Memories fill the void of loneliness and help people connect with others to keep each other's head held high. Pain is an effect of loneliness and connecting with others will relieve the loneliness and pain that someone is feelings.

I don't think it would be easier if we didn't have memories. Memories help us remember people and their personalities. They also help you remember why you love that person.

It would not be easier without memories because memories show us our mistakes and help us learn what to do in certain situations. We can look back on the happy memories in life and make the hard days easier.

It wouldn't be easier if we didn't have memories because we would mourn and grief would take over our lives.

It would not be easier if we didn't have memories because memories help people out of certain situations that they couldn't get through by their self. You don't want to isolate yourself from everyone and hiding you feelings inside to make yourself feel more pain. Without memories, you wouldn't have something to look back on to take away the pain.

It would not be easier if we didn't have memories because we wouldn't have a way to remember important pieces of our life that may benefit us in the long run and give us a warm and joyful feeling in times of grief.

It would not be easier if we didn't have memories because you wouldn't be able to remember the happy things. Lois Lowry said that people in her book wouldn't be able to remember anything. Not even GOOD memories. Not all memories are bad. Some can benefit you and get you out of a time of grief. So, if you weren't able to have memories,  you would be stuck in a frozen place. But, I can see why some people would say it's easier to not have memories. At the beginnng of the podcast, a man says that memories can cause wars and other bad things to happen in the world. I could agree with this because memories can cause conflicts, but,  they don't always.

I do not think it would be easier if we didn't have memories. Imagine if you couldn't remember having your wedding, getting proposed to, having your first kiss, etc. Even though one day we could look back on those memories and possibly be upset, these memories are what made us the people we are today. These memories brought us so many laughs and smiles. We should be able to look back on those memories and be happy.

It would not be easier if we did not have memories because memories help you think of the good times and the happy times which would cheer you up especially when you are grieving.

It would not be easier if we didn't have memories because you need to have good and bad memories. Good memories can put a smile on your face, while bad memories can make you feel sick or depressed if you don't share it with others. If you do share the memories they can make you stronger. You also need memories to help you make good decisions and not make more bad memories.

It would be easier but nothing would seem real,with no memories we would be and emotionless person.It would be good at times but not all the time, you couldn't love no one because you don't have no memories with them ,you wouldn't cry ,or feel way  about  certain person.

It would be easier if we didn't have memories but it would seem if we didn't care about the people who past away or just simply make life seem unrealistic.

I don't think it would be easier if we didn't have memories because memories form the basis of relationships. If we didn't have memories, we wouldn't be able to connect with people like we do when we have memories. We also are changed as people through the memories we have and made who we are.

No it would not be easier if we didn't have memories because if someone passes away, you would want to think of the good things they did instead of being sad. Although memories can make people sad, it can also make people feel better because it's giving them a good outlook on a bad situation.

No it would not be easier if we didn't have any memories. Memories are to get rid of all the bad thoughts built up inside your head, and rememebring good things to help you get through life with no pain. If we didn't have memories, we would live life in pain and have no happy memories of the special person who filled our lives with joy.

It would be easier if we didn't have memories because we wouldn't have to remember how happy we used to be and how we are now not as happy. If we didn't have memories we wouldn't have the pain of missing someone or something we would just let them go and we wouldn't face loneliness. But, on the other hand if we didn't have memories we wouldn't be able to flashback to our good times and the times where we had fun.
