if only we could insert a disk that had captured the moment but I think we embellish and exaggerate things for drama or tone things down to protect ourselves .maybe what you're seeing that's the emotional part is hiding the memory scene like something frustrating in the past you felt helpless about.
So its frustration about frustration -shit I feel that daily .
