Memory can be spoken in many ways. One that is wholesome and the other which causes fragmentation. Both aren't mutually exclusive and hence the choice or predominance of one aspect can have an effect on the other. 

Generally, it is appreciated if memory seems to generate a feeling of belonging and peace. This is a process of engagement with people, mind, environment, relationships around us. I don't think that a person is weak if he/she prefers to seek happiness in all and as such strives for everyone's goodwill. At the same time, he/she is much aware of interactions of all things among themselves so is empathetic on his/her actions. Herein, memory seems to expand to infinite behaviour of space and time and is not merely contained "as a body phenomenon". Therefore, one is concerned about connections of generations and the past or the future seems equally valid as much as the present, or rather there are no distinctions as such. Hence memory is awareness. This entire idea can be seen as 'context of belonging'. 

The second idea is of speed, distinct entities, sequences, compartments, fragments, productions, noise and so on. That causes ruptures in space, time, us. That can cause inner violence. The issue of individual identity falls in this loop...something enforced by American idea of freedom and what situation that loop has landed us into. 

In modern mindscape there exists a debate of above two ideas. Infact the evolution of culture, humanity, perception, action, may suggest a gradual transformation in collective consciousness to fragmentary consciousness. _Which is better?_ 

This is for the self to _realise_, even to go beyond the idea of choice making. To see a situation as a binary of above ideas might be a mistake. Binary maybe an imagination. 

Steadiness is required, not a choice.
