"حقيقة الذاكرة هي الرغبة"
— Salman Rushdie

Simplified Meaning:
When people remember things, they often remember them as they wish they had happened rather than how they actually did. For example, you might remember a family vacation as perfect, even though there were arguments and bad weather. Our memories can be shaped by what we desire or want them to be, rather than the actual events. It’s like looking at the past through rose-colored glasses; everything seems better than it was. By understanding this, you can be more aware that your memories might not be completely accurate. It’s important to recognize this so you can keep a more realistic view of your past and not let your desires color your memories too much.
