 We gain experiences and carry them to the brain as memories through out life. Experiences and memories accumulate for 365days and 24-hours, but it is impossible to memorize all of them as immaculate records. Therefore, discarded memories are kept in the inner part of the brain, covered with dust. Furthermore, the fundamental existence of some memories are also forgotten. However, these memories definitely stays somewhere in the brain even though people are not memorizing them in detail, because experiences are facts.

 The memories covered in dust become ”forgotten experience”, because these memories has depleted its color, smell and other information. But some of the memories stay special as they leave “sensations”.

 At first glance, these memories are the same as forgotten memories because the details are also missing. Memories which leave sensations are eroded by forgotten experiences, but they will absolutely not be buried under the many memories. Because, our nose, hands and ears as five senses always make people remember past experiences.
