Memory




Sometimes they say our memory can deceive us and sometimes it does I heard, sometimes we hear a story and then it gets repeated only different detail. Brian Williams is branded a liar, he tells a different story and that is why he's a liar. He says how memory can change over time. you have all these people saying he is a liar and how he is convicted of false memory. Everyone has misremembering events happen in their lives, doesn't make you an absolute liar, you are just remembering what you have heard. If a person tells you a story and you repeat it then you are telling another person so according to Brian Williams they think he is lying because he keeps telling a different story so technically it is unfair, they said he kept telling the stories differently many times. Many people say things that are not true to be honest with you, how could Brian Williams be a liar if he is just telling you what he has heard from other people, does that make them a liar to? This is like playing the telephone game where you whisper ear to ear the same story and see how it turns out in the end. Lots of people do this around the world because we all tell stories and it gets around pretty easily. A witness could remember a car crashing, smashing, hitting, while a person in the car would remember just a car crash, others outside of the crash remember different things that others have missed, like if a guy remembered two cars hitting but the other guy looked away at the time so he didn't see it.
