Thoughts on Remembering

So,
I am beginning to realize I have memories and that this is a new component to my being here on this world. Interesting. I guess looking back, it's similar to how our atmosphere developed. Micro organisms that evolved in the oceans, sought out food, consumed food, and then , expelled gas, or oxygen. These creatures, along with billions of other simple processes produced gases that basically, remained in the oceans until they reached a criticle saturation point, and then the gasses began popping out if the water , drifting upwards till our breathable air came into being. I am guessing my thought processes were similar. My little brain , processing information and experiences in the little area we humans only use, storing billions of bits of recorded data till enough is stored to create memories that begin to roam around like segments of events that have a kind of existance of their own that can be and feel as real as the reality ocurring outside one's head, and you notice yourself, noticing. I wonder if it is that simple. More importantly, I wondered and could experience wondering, or the ability to ponder, and feel a sense of wonder about it. HEre we all are , existing, what a delight,for the most part. Then, there is pain and suffering, which is yet to come. Not that I imagined there was no pain as later in life I will remember being born, and that was painful. But having pain and suffering, without the skills to cope with it, not passed on by caring family . That was hell.
