The memory functions efficiently. It doesn't keep track of everything you've ever lived, but only the most important events. (Sometimes its definition of "important" is a little less than clear, but it does a pretty good job.) This means that a large majority of your everyday life gets relegated to "filler." In other words, you can live in the present, but very little of it will get stored away for future reference.

Two questions: What "filler" moment have you lived recently that made you glad to be alive, despite the fact that it will eventually be forgotten? and/or, What's your most recent non-"filler" moment, one that you think you'll remember for a long time?
