Sometimes these memory slips are simple and fairly innocuous, such as forgetting to return a phone call. Other times, forgetting can be much more dire and even have serious consequences, such as an eyewitness forgetting important details about a crime. Memory failures are an almost daily occurrence.

In fact, according to George Sand, there is only one happiness in this world — and that is to love and be loved. When we are in love, our emotions bounce between exhilaration, euphoria, and anxiety.
