"L'oubli mène à l'exil tandis que la mémoire est le secret de la rédemption."
Simplified meaning
When people forget important things or their past, they often feel lost and disconnected, almost like being banished from a place they once knew well. It’s like when a person moves away from their hometown and loses touch with their old friends and memories; they might feel lonely and out of place. On the other hand, keeping memories alive and acknowledging one’s history can help in healing and finding a sense of belonging. For example, a family that keeps old photos and stories alive through generations maintains a strong bond and identity. Remembering who you are, where you come from, and your experiences can offer a path to understanding and inner peace. It’s a way to stay connected to your roots and find meaning in your life.
