6th Day
So yesterday had another curse that screwed with peoples' memories.
What's up with that, anyway? The deities pull a lot of crap, like raising mountains out of the ground and making it rain frogs or whatever. But a lot of the time they just settle for screwing around with peoples' memories. Is it because it's easy? Or is it because that's the best way to control someone?
Think about it. One day you remember everything just fine and you're perfectly sure of who you are. Then the next day you might remember things that haven't happened to you yet or you forget everything that happened over the past five years. So you're really just another person then. Can you even keep track of where you are in your life after getting your head messed with so many times?
The power to change someone's identity at the drop of the hat... that's pretty messed up. Or hell, maybe our memories here are just made up and we're not even who we think we are. Now that would be screwed up. Not that I think that's the case in this city. Worrying about it wouldn't get me anywhere, either.
It's food for thought, anyway. And definitely a sign that I need to get out more.
