con-text -- (noun) the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, etc.
Context can be locked in place with a memory in detail or be conveniently omitted. The worries I have now were not the same five years ago, and they will not be the same five years from now. That comes with being human. Context shapes our memories and decisions, yet can have little bearing on the actual event.
It's a shame, but it's necessary.
