We are given gifts and presents on special days. And we can not forget about it easily. It's not important whether it is expensive and valuable or not. Then why we can remember it? I think that's because it mostly has meaning. whenever we see it we can remind the day when we were given. And it doesn't mean simply meterial but the symbol of relationship.
Firstly, It usually has precious meaning. We are not given present always but only on special days such as birthday or any kind of anniversaries. We try to keep it and display it and whenever we find or realize there it is. We can recall the memories about it. Since we usually keep those where we can see it easily. It's repeated consistently. It's related to the process of memorizing. It's not easy for us to remember something at first.In other words, we forget things unfamilliar. When we repeat merorizing something again and again. It finally stick to our memories. So that's why we can remember it.
Secondly, We consider the relationship is very important and the gift means relationship. giving and taking gifts does not simply mean transfering of things. but the transcation among people. Through this activity, they can bond more. In addition, we usually think when we get gift from others, we have to give it back. It is common sense and we try to give gift when the special day of people who gave us gift before.That also stronly affect the memorizing.
In conclusion, gift and present have meaning and those are usually happy and pleasant. Through keep the gift and present, we can keep reminding the memory related to it continually. besides,relationship is also really important in our lives and people tend to remember what they were given from other people and try topay it back. that's why the memory of gift and present is not erased from our memory easily. |
