Levine Response Reading

Commemoration requires closing a section of history off as finished, done forever. This cuts the item being commemorated off and leaves it stranded in the past.
Monuments are important thought because we can remember entire concepts/stories by looking at the associated object.
The question is how to create an everlasting monument. So we do not have to continuously re-commemorate important events.
The point of commemoration is to place a physical trigger to that memory, but how to make a monument we do not become numb to after repeated exposure?
