Memento (2000) movie reflection

-

A man has a chronic  flaw. He can’t remember anything after his wife is attacked. All short term memory fades. 

He represents me and all humanity, a species with flaws that we don’t see and which we cannot fix.

Those who know him represent me and all humanity, us who can see each other’s flaws and must choose to exploit them or sacrifice ourselves to them. 

If I exploit the flaw, I won’t know that I’ve done it and I won’t know who has done it to me. This is unaccountable hate. 

If I love despite the flaw, I won’t be remembered for it. This is unconditional love. 

Only, with love, I can be brought back to reality and live in peace and happiness. With hate, I am destined to experience the consequences of hate, murder, theft, rage, and confusion. 

If I exploit others, they will exploit me. 

If I love others, they might love me. 

Does morality really boil down to exploitative hate and sacrificial love? Is there a higher love than can redeem and heal this flaw?


Rules:

1. Always tell the truth - at least don’t knowingly lie. This will prevent you from being unmoored from reality. Don’t betray yourself. 

2. Do everything with the intention of wanting what is best for you and others. In this you are serving a higher power. 

“Love God. Love your neighbor as yourself”

Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.” - Gustav Le Bon (The Crowd) “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” - Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 5:5) Moore v.
