It’s good to forget
Everyday people face negative experiences.
Whether of greater or lesser import, people generally like to dwell on these
negative experiences. Once this becomes a habit, it has a negative effect. Then
unpleasant experiences become a part of their active memory, till it becomes a
jungle of negativity. So it is best to forget these kinds of sad events.
Whatever happened was beyond your
control, but it is in your hands to forget it and prevent it from becoming a
part of your memory. If others are not
ready to take your advice on this, you had better become its first follower.
What is education? It is not just
the means of making you a degree holder; it is the gateway to the art of
living. Education enables you to think, to discover the principal of life, and
to correctly evaluate your experiences. Education gives you the ability to
think what is wrong and what is right. It gives you the ability to think the
difference between the achievable and un-achievable. If you are educated person
in this sense, you will certainly discover the value of the habit of
forgetting.
The choice in this context is not
between forgetting and not forgetting. The real choice is between living with
all kinds of bitter memories and totally freeing yourself from them. Try to
forget unpleasant memories, for the alternative to this is living in bitterness
and that is not good choice for anyone.

The habit of forgetting leads you
to many good things. It saves you from distraction, it economies your energy,
it prevents you from wasting your time and it shields you from negative thoughts.
All these things are so important for a better life that any sacrifice to
achieve it is certainly worth it.
In life your share is only 50%. The rest of the 50% is supplied
by others. Living with bitter memories means that you are not ready to accept
this law of nature. You cannot change the law of nature, so change yourself. This
will give you the gift a comfortable life in every situation.
If you are not ready to forget,
what is forgettable, then after sometime you will become addicted to this
habit. Bitter memory is fed by bad experiences and so you tend to recall them
everyday. This is a very bad sign. This will create a permanent obstacle to the
development of your personality.
Of the two kinds of memories,
good and bad, the former gives you energy, while the latter ruins your life. You
have to appreciate this difference and try to live with good memories. This habit
will help you achieve a good human life.
Memory is an integral part of
your mind. There is no escape from memory. The only option is to try not to
make memory a part of your conscious mind, but relegate it to the unconscious mind.
And the forgetting habit serves that very purpose. We cannot delete our memory
from our minds, but we can make it ineffective by storing it in the memory
archives.
Memory when good is a positive guide and when
bad, totally negative. You have to control your memory rather than be
controlled by it. Make your memory your memory your intellectual storehouse and
not the master of your daily product.
