I remember things that happened sixty years ago, but if you ask me where I left my car keys five minutes ago, that’s sometimes a problem.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that our memory works in strange ways. We can easily remember events from long ago, but sometimes forget small, recent things like where we put our keys. It shows how our brain stores and recalls different types of information differently. Even though we may have a strong memory for the past, our memory of the present moment can sometimes be weak.
