Memory alone doesn't exactly define a person.
It is the way you interpret your memory that defines you.
In turn, the desires resulted from this interpretation are what make you a human being.

There're no ways to forget or escape from the desires.
And there're no better ways of living than to live through them,
and to try turning your righteous desires into reality,
however tired it can be.

Those that are not compatible with your moral system?
For the love of NATURE, just throw them away!
