On the one hand, it is interesting to be able to share everything we experience with others, in addition to being able to keep it as records to access our memories (argument 1). On the other hand, many end up detaching themselves from the moment of the occurrence of the facts due to the concern to show to others what we should appreciate at the moment that occurred (argument 2)”.
