Why would you ever want to forget?

Question

I feel like I can learn something from every situation... life is a learning experience...

Answer 1

i actually feel the same way....
i never regret anything good or bad because everything happens for a reason, no matter if it was good or bad, it all is part of a big plan... or at least thats just how i feel.........

Answer 2

I agree with you. I don't ever forget, and I do learn from situations.
I think that some people have a very difficult time with some situations, so they'd rather forget. It's their way of dealing with it.

Answer 3

I agree with you, I wouldnt want to forget any of the good or the bad that I have gone through, But There are some people who have gone through something tramautic,maybe that, would make them want to forget.

Answer 4

"It's too painful" is the worst excuse I've ever heard. Keeping painful events in memory are the best defense to preventing their re-occurance. We used to be told to do what hijackers say. Now what if we just forgot 9/11 altogether and went back to that way of thinking?

Answer 5

Because sometimes it hurts and I try to forget..

Answer 6

but who says you do forget...because even if its good, bad, hurts,fills good,etc. no matter how hard you try to forget, its there and no matter how hard you try to hang on to it ...it eventually fades but not completely. so i fill that the trying part is irrelevant. thanks for the question.
