Drinking
Huginn: If one drank of the waters of forgetfulness...
Muninn: It would not affect you; and it cannot affect me.
H: There is a story about a man who was allowed one drink a day.
M: I remember that. He drank himself to death, drinking once for each day in his life.
H: One wonders if he drank for his future as well as his past.
M: One remembers he had forgotten his past and had no future, at his end. This is what comes of living in the present.
