Section II-Of Origin of Ideas

When we reflect on our past sintiments and affections, our thoughts is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly, but the colours which it emplys are faint and dull in comparison of those in which or original perceptions were clothed...

Hume is saying and I totally agree from experience and I know a lot of ppl have too..When we have gon through past experiences and thoughts we remember them(faithful mirror which allows that). However the faithful mirror doesnt gives us those exact images and feelings we experienced. Though we may remeber them the thought wont be the same as what that mirror captured...
