Life of a Chordata

It was said that the memory of the fishes only lasted around 3-7 minutes. Some scientist claimed that in fact the fishes are smarter that birds, experiments had proven that fishes can remember the time where feed will be provided.

Perhaps that's the reason behind why the fishes kept eating the feed no matter how many times we fed them. They had forgotten that they had already eaten.

Is the "short-term' memory of the fishes consider a blessing or a curse?

Fishes will never know that they are living in a small aquarium, when they swim from one end to another end, they might have already forgotten the point where they had started. They surely had forgotten that once they were from the big oceania or huge streams in the rainforest.

Without the memory of the past, they always live in a state of 'Present'. That is what many of us, human beings who are way smarter, who had better and powerful brain than the fishes who failed to do so, to live in a state of 'Present'.

Bad, sad or frustrated memories of the past, which many of us failed to let go haunted us. Making us into situation where we are haunted by the past, struggling in the present, uncertain about the future. That's triple the negative effect we are actually facing. As days passes by, the burden of the mind kept on increasing. In some severe cases, the burden increased according to an exponential graph.

Let it go~~ Let it go~~ our heart is shouting loudly at us. " To forgive and to forget!" Said the wise man. A simple advice and simple logic; can we understand it and act towards it?

Been able to swim freely like a fish in a big ocean is not good enough, but also been as absent minded as the fish will do most of us good.

A "short-term" Memory is definitely a blessing in disguise for the fishes.
