Memory restructuring
Am reading one nice book and was struck by a fantastic sentence in the introduction itself . β Memories are often pruned and shaped with an ego enhancing bias that blurs the edges of past events, softens culpability and distorts what really happened β. Can immediately relate to this, as I have often seen people recalling past events in such a manner as to carefully avoid any inference of wrong thinking or wrongdoing on their own part in those situations !
We can call these the manifestations of memory doctrination and cleansing !ππ
