Jonas must keep the memories on behlaf of the communit, but doesn't share them because no one wants to experience the full range of emotions
Community Memory was created in 1973.
The Giver tried to transfer the memory of sledding down a hill in the snow to Jonas to help him experience joy and happiness. This memory was intended to give Jonas a positive and exhilarating experience, as he had been sheltered from such emotions in his community.
In the memory of the sled ride down the hill, Jonas learns the emotion of exhilaration and joy. This is a new emotion for him because in his community, emotions are suppressed. The memory allows him to experience the thrill of excitement and freedom for the first time.
The special power the receiver of memory needs to have in "The Giver" is the ability to experience and hold on to memories from the past. This power allows them to understand the true depth of human emotion and experience, which others in their community are shielded from.
In the memory's the color always stays but in the community in goes away after an amount of time.

The Receiver of Memory in "The Giver" is chosen for their intelligence, wisdom, integrity, and capacity to experience pain without being overwhelmed by it. They must also have the ability to keep secrets and make difficult decisions for the benefit of the community.
In the Byzantine Faith experience, it was God who invented memory.
Everyone
The Receiver of Memory holds all the memories of the community and acts as a source of wisdom for the community's leaders. In a different culture, the Receiver of Memory might be considered a historian, sage, or oracle.
The community made this distinction to ensure that the Receiver of Memory is selected based on wisdom and experience, rather than the usual assignment method for other occupations. This is because the receiver's role requires unique qualities such as the ability to bear the burden of memories, which is not a requirement for other roles in the community.
Jonas felt honored and privileged to experience the giver's favorite transmitted memory. He was deeply moved by the warmth, love, and joy he felt in the memory, which contrasted with the emotions he had experienced in his own controlled and emotionless community.
