In the book the giver, what are the pros and cons of being the receiver of memory?

I can help, but my memory is kinda foggy since I read the book last year. (And also because the movie takes up most of my memory.)

Pros:
-can see colors
-exclusive access to a certain place (can't remember exactly where)

Cons:
-know hatred, abuse, sadness, etc
-being different from the other kids
-know the "real" world

And that's pretty much it. I try to answer questions I know at least a little bit about. :)

Pros
Can see colors
Have feelings
Cons
Having feelings like pain hatred sadness
Being able to see colors can envy other people
You have to deal with knowing everything even if it's painful or causes hatred
