A study was done to understand emotional memory:
People with advanced dementia were assigned two caretakers: one would treat them gently & with kindness, the other would be gruff & unloving. A week later, they were asked if they had ever met either of the two caretakers.

They all said no (due to the dementia). They were then asked who they wanted to work with that day. Consistently, they chose the one who had treated them kindly, but had no explanation for why.

We store our experiences, our emotions, and our connections in many places, including places we have no conscious access to. In life, people will forget what you said, but they won’t forget how you made them feel. So be kind.
