Between memory and remembrance

What is the difference between memory and remembrance? Memory is the faculty of the mind that allows the contents of the past to be kept alive. Remembrance (Latin: re-cordor) is the heart’s ability to attribute a positive or negative meaning to certain events in our life – depending on the personal predispositions of the moment in which the remembrance is fixed within us. Inside the Italian word remembrance (it. ricordo) there is the heart, it is true, but there is also the string (it. corda) – something that connects the moment (bad or good, whatever it is) with the person who experiences it. And if a moment is shared with family or friends, the remembrance is also shared, the string that is created between a reality that we live in that certain moment with a reality that we carry inside forever.
