Is there any greater memory, than a memory that protects other memories?

[Gottservant]

Hi there,

So a proposition for you: is there any greater memory, than a memory that protects other memories?

For example, you remember your Dad, and because you remember your Dad, you remember your family, and in a way the memory of your Dad protects the memory of your family.

Thoughts?

In what way does the one memory "protect" the other memory?

In what way does the one memory "protect" the other memory?

It establishes that both are valuable, by indirect reference to either itself or the other.

But both memories refer to each other. How then can one "protect" the other and be "greater"?

I guess in the same way butterflies help caterpillars survive.

And in the same way that caterpillars help butterflies survive?

So which one is "greater"?
