Memorable Loop

It has been quite some time into May, time for some thought provoking blogging. So the other day I read this article about a woman, actually there is a book out on it also, about how she has this perfect memory, she can remember every day since she was 8. Quite spectacular, but this memory is just limited to events that happened in her life, she was an above average student.

This whole memory thing brought back a couple of things. One of the things that she has mentioned was how this whole memory deal is huge downer when you remember each and every wrong anyone has ever done to you. The other thing she mentioned was how she constantly corrected her parents whenever they referenced to you had done this or that.

I had this talk once where I mentioned how I m such a cool, laidback person (I know modesty) in return I was asked if I ever forget stuff, which unfortunately I don’t coz my memory is picture perfect too, so then this friend said that you are not so cool and you don’t let things go.

Which brought up another question, does letting things go means forgetting whenever you think you have been wronged? I do understand the whole concept of forgiveness to move ahead in your life. But is forgiveness enough to get over things, especially when you can pull up wrongdoings in high definition without any effort?

Blessedly my memory is not that sharp, except for those exceptionally embarrassing moments which everyone treasures in their life. I m very content with my present state of forgetting names, occasions and above all any horror stories. Working very hard here to achieve my ultimate cool status. As for the memory woman, what would be awesome is if she could remember all these details in her next life, but that shall be another post…
