Would You Sell Your Memories for Money?

In the event that it's possible for one to sell their memory for cash, will I be willing to do that? Knowing fully well how difficult things are, looking at the harsh economy, the rising cost of living, and the overwhelming fear of going broke and becoming poor. Won't one be willing to just let go of the memory and take the money so they can live a more comfortable life where they can live life to the fullest and enjoy anything they need? I think it's a beneficial idea given the fact that the memory doesn't really add much to our finances, but will I do it?

Personally, I don't buy the idea of selling my memory for cash, and the reasons for that are what I'd be stating below. While I understand I'm not where I want to be financially and would really need money to change the story around positively, still, I must say that selling my memory won't be a good idea just because it'll pay me to do so. I mean, come to think of it, my first reason for not wanting to sell is because I'll lose my memory after selling it, so what if I sold the memory and ended up forgetting I had such a deal and the person didn't even pay me, and yet I lose my memory?

Another integral reason why I won't be seeing my memory is because my memory is my person; that is, my memory is me, and I'm my memory. Without my memory, I'd be a stranger to myself because I'd most likely lose my identity and who I am. I wouldn't remember valuable lessons I've learnt in the past that have shaped my life and that could possibly elevate me in the future. So selling my memory is like selling myself and directly losing myself because I won't remember who helped me, who wronged me, who I am, or what I've learnt, amongst many other things to name but a few.

So that's about it on my take on if I'd sell my memory for money or not; like I said, I won't be selling, and that's because my memory is me, and without it, I don't think I'd be myself again. So in a nutshell, I'm not selling my memory; both the good and the bad ones play a key role in who I am today, and that's why I'd cling to my memory above money that I might lose after completing the deal.
