the humans.
are humans forgetful creatures?
yes you might say altho we coin the term as "absent-mindedness"
no we're not! some pple are apt at bearing grudges!!
hahas...
i'm a forgetful person...i forget what's suffering like when it's over..
sOo i hav this throbbing headache now & i really wish it'll just gO away..perhaps after a while it'll b gone & i'll completely forget what it's like to endure such pain~
but i seldom forget people's names & the topics we talk about..and the homework/ readings i have to accomplish.
sO are we practising selective forgetfulness/ accidentally things jus slip off our minds because dey're not impt/ not worth rmb-ing?
but has it occur to you the more u wanna forget smth, the harder it gets off your head? when you relax & let things pass, you'll soOn forget what you attempt to rmb.
in a sense, this part is ironic. We choose to but we're not granted unless you tried extremely hard to put the past behind you (which is difficult for alot of us because painful they may be, dey're after all our precious memories & experiences in life)
that i'm referring to painful relationships/ traumatic past...nOt some superficial headache lOlx..
for stuff as deep as these, it's better to embrace than to forget because forgetting will only make you worser! Embrace means to carry on with your life with the past in your mind.
How is tt possible?
1. take the neutral approach
2. hate it to the core of your soul until there's no more hatred/ sadness left anymore. I mean you can't go on doing it forever..
Life still goes on.
How would forgetting make me worser?
Wells, if you choose to forget smth (but in your heart you can't let go), doesn't it make you feel worse because you're in a caught in this awkward situation?
Why embrace then? They're not worth keeping either.
Embracing isn't really keeping ,in my opinion. It's more of using it as an experience & to come to reality that everything can't be perfect. You face up to your troubles instead of running away and after some time (depends on indiv.), they don't matter anymore. Life is about the bigger picture (unless the memory you're trying to forget is you're once a POW. This is not applicable).
oOkie i really cannot stand my headache! arghx!
