If Life can only be un-derstood backwards, but must be lived forwards, then “pouring out our memories” is the only conduit to enlightenment.
Indeed, when examining, we quickly siphon off the “derstood” and are left only with the “un”. In the Un-iverse of reminiscence, pain defines us more than delight.
Which un, you ask, is most significant? The un-forgiven? This is a tolerable torment, as it is ended by our choice. Both the seeking and the granting of forgiveness are forms of understanding. What of the unsaid? The unresolved? Here again, we hold the key, and must only decide to unlock. We can speak out or close the book—the issue only expires when we do.
As for “Unforgettable”, I hesitate to invade the undying realm of Nat King Cole. But what if we are unwanted by our memories? That which clings to me and does things to me may still liberate itself without my consent. The departure of memory is unexpected, and not controlled by will.
Now we are left with the last uncertain lingerer, Undone. If our choices define us, then our unseen paths must be equally essential. The un-dreamed is painless. It is the unfulfilled imaginings that bring agony. These might-have-beens unfurl our despair. We cannot mourn without knowing what was lost. And so we circle the drain, envisioning vanished destinations, while the rest of memory, undaunted, evaporates into freedom.

You ask, of all the memories which stagnates the longest: the unforgiven, the unsaid, the undone, or the unresolved. Furthermore, you stapled to that attachment, which of those 4 tend to be unforgettable. Before, I answer this question, I must analyze the way in which you approached it paying close attention the the emphasized "UN's" that approximate what you are cognitating. UN is a prefix that defines as:
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law - Cite This Source - Share This
Main Entry: un-
Function: prefix
1 : not
2 : contrary to
I conclude, therefore, you ask question pertaining to the law which can be indistinguishable, like your last question:
Can a CRIME against ONE person be a CRIME to the whole WORLD?
Most of your responders were legal in nature. Typically, legalists are so stressed, coffee consumption is of the essence ... "Maxwell House" "Good to the Last Drop"
Therefore, I ask you, How can these memories be good as an subjective arguement in court? If a defense is building an arguement against a suspect, these would be *key questions! Did the witness or Client have unforgiveness, unsaid build-up of hostility, undone threats or wishes, unresolved disputes or like manner?
I am certain many of us have these sweet dispositions, but we would all rather drink our cup of coffee and forget the last drop in the cup, that is until it evaporates and lingers in the air, tis only then that we remember, when the smell of what was done is there to remind us.
Mine is UNsaid, believe me, it will be said!

Just as you can't literally see the water evaporating, I couldn't keep track of all my memories fading away, even if I could let go of ALL of them, yet alone be able to pour them all out. There are a few memories that i can bring up like a file folder, but most of them I just use and remember as things come up in life that trigger my memory, though if i was dying or something like that, maybe the last memory i would remember would be the people closest to me.
I think the heaviest wouldn't be the unforgiven, because I would eventually be able to forgive. Why waste energy on something I'm making an issue by not forgiving? I'd say unsaid would be the heaviest, because it wraps up the rest of your options in many cases. For example, if you've never said (unsaid) to someone that you love them, and they go marry someone else, you have both an unsaid and undone situation. Also, if you've never said anything to you love, you might have unresolved jealousy, envy, and or anger to the person who, in your view, took her away, and that leading to probably being the most unforgettable experience of you life, because your life no longer has the possibility of being one with hers.
Though teh heaviest memory could also be the most precious, happiest one of your lifetime because it's the hardest to let go of

I should hope my most lingering memories, the last drop to evaporate would be of the wondrous relationships I have had with friends and family...giving and receiving love...sharing laughter and tears...touching and being touched...I don't want the last memories to be regrets...that is why it is so important to forgive...to say the things that are difficult to say....to do the things that were undone...to bring resolution to the differences....the more we do these things the less "residue" there is and life is remarkably improved....

The unresolved would include all the others. Unforgiven, unsaid, undone.
I hope I would never see that last drop, for it would tell me I had not fulfilled my life to the very best of my abilities.

The most unforgetable would be the day I married and the birth of my 3 kids.That something I will never ever forget.And the way my ex husband abused me,lied to me ,cheated on me.Leaves alot to be unsaid and unresolved sometimes I think I shouldnt had forgiven him before I told him goodbye.But God says forgive.Towards end of our relationship we had 50-b orders on each other which meant no contact and even after all he done to me I was stupid enough to call his machine read scriptures and I landed in jail for breaking 50-b violation.yeah I went to jail for reading bible but all them years of abuse he never pulled anytime he always got off with 'prayer for judgement' the judge said.But now I suffer with eye problem which Im depressed about which I got from getting upset over my online boyfriend.So Im not to happy now.But...if my last memorie was to evaporate the last drop would be the fun times me and him did have me and my ex husband and him being their to hold my hand during the birth of my 3 kids =( that something I'll never forget.And I love my family and kids.All I got left now is my blind mom and 3 kids but I love them to death.

I think that the last drop to evaporate, is theUnresolved, because there are a lot of unresolved questions that need to be corrected, and I wished they would before, the Lord calls me Home.

Memories of family members who have died are the heaviest.
I can't think of any unforgiven or undone.
The only unresolved thing is my daughters husband who thinks I don't like him though I have told him I do. It bothers me knowing that because I don't like it when people think I don't like them. There are some things he has done in his past that I don't like, but I don't not like him.

My last memory to evaporate would be the memory of the grandness of existence itself, without which I would not have had a life of memories. Why must the answer be something that is "UN"?
