1. Traumatic Memories
0
"Traumatic memories" are held in the muscles. WRONG.
Traumatic memories --like other memories-- are stored in multiple connected brain structures. The hippocampus (and in the case of traumatic memories, the amygdala) is a particularly important structure in the brain for storing memories. Memories are not static --they change each time we remember something.

P.S. Not sure what to think about the AI image generated below. Decided to go with it and see what thoughts other folks had.

1. That everybody is equal.
0
Everybody must be treated equally, respected equally, and given equal opportunities. After that, it is up to you, me, and us. Some will excel. Some will fail. Most will be somewhere in the middle. And the rare few will actually redefine what success or excellence means. Strive for equal opportunities. Don't adjust to force equal outcomes.
