Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee

BRUCE: Thinking is not freedom - all thought is partial; it can never be total. Thought is the response of memory and memory is always partial, because memory is the result of experience. So, thought is reaction of a mind conditioned by experience; pg-20

ME: Memory is strong and vivid when the attention was intense at the time of experience. The attention is there when one cares/fears. So, largely human memory that is an engine of thought is a collection of experiences that one cared or feared.
