The Memories of Others

Maya Angelou: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.


How do you want to be remembered? What makes someone think of you? For many people it’s what you do that counts. You may say the wrong thing which puts them off from visiting you again. You may act in a manner that causes upset or even offence. If you belittle someone; are they going to remember the next time they address you? Are they going to comment on it; or will it cause a scene? A part of good character interaction is looking how each character views each other. Is there conflict, or is there joy? Will they forget and forgive? Have they forgot how you helped them out the last time they saw you? Will they take an interest in what you told them the last time you met and engage in that conversation? Or is something else going on in their lives that preoccupies them with other thoughts?
