Forget

Do know the difference between things you should forget, and things you should remember forever. Also note the slight difference between things you will forget and things you can not forget.
Sometimes there are moments of your life that will shape the course of your life: Meeting someone different, having a child, losing a loved one, held to at gunpoint. There are happy sugar coated memories that will turn your brain into candy floss, and then there are the deep foul stench of others that will pollute your brain and thus you.
Sometimes things are better left forgotten, but do not forget it all, remember what was important out of this failure, this way you should not do the same thing, or at least recognise it.
Sometimes things are so sweet the whole scene becomes hazy and you lose it, but you still remember the feeling of joy, at least the main parts.

I realise that this post doesn't exactly have an ordered structure and real point to it, but it's just some food for thought, sometimes we need to be reminded, to jog our memories so we don't forget. (that part did make sense right? - i forget)

we cannot remember anything forever
nor forget anything completely

thus the term memory..

we are able to feel joy, when we suddenly remember things that we thought we forgot a long ago

and we are embarrassed at times remembering things that we thought we had forgotten

these little occasions make life all worthwhile

to forget something completely, or remember forever like a machine will take these litle pleasures in life away

we are only human after all, and feed off tiny pleasures in life

so why try to take it away?
