People assume one shared reality and one timeline when they think about the past. That way their memories aren't just personal, they reflect a truth or reality that everyone involved should agree on. But what if there is more than one reality or timeline? What if these things diverge over time? I'm not saying they do, but maybe we could be open to that possibility, as outrageous as it might seem. And even if there is only one reality or timeline, each person carries their own memories of the past which won't reflect a complete picture of everything experienced in a lifetime, only a highlights package. The more important an event, the more crystal clear it remains in our mind. And if it was less important to another they won't remember with the same clarity.
