| Wan-Sze: |
Nothing seems memorable here . . .
|
| Kasim: |
That's your experience.
Can you be sure of others?
|
| Nadia: |
Yeah, we need to be cautious about making universal statements.
|
:
| Kasim: |
We have every right to speak for ourselves, but not of others.
|
| Wan-Sze: |
That's only partly
true. Each day we rely on decisions by others without our knowledge or consent. |
| Will: |
We never speak entirely
for ourselves: our individuality sprouts from and merges back into a collective awareness.
|
| Nadia: |
Yet where is the democracy without consent?
|
Are memories contained
in the fabric of our genes
passing down generations
as we slowly become new beings?
Or are memories fragile threads
linked to complex neural webs
no more long-lasting
than footprints of bio-chemical nets?
Before venturing answers
shouldn't we make sure our questions right?
Unless we understand our questions more fully
can the truth ever come to light?
