I'm just curious about something. Is it normal to walk by objects everyday for weeks or months without actually noticing them? For example, I think I could walk by any object (tools, chairs, banners statues, etc.) everyday for six months without ever actually noticing it. If one day, the object was no longer there, I suspect that I probably wouldn't even notice that it was gone. Is that normal? What does this say about me?
This question actually came about because a relative wants me to testify in court that I saw items on his property prior to them being stolen. I told him I don't recall seeing those items and now he's mad at me because he desperately needs me to testify. I know I saw those items, I just don't remember seeing them. I think a huge part of it is that I didn't know what those items were when I saw them, therefore I don't remember them. Maybe it's me, but I think it's harder to remember something you saw when you don't even know what it is.
