Why is it so Hard to Forget?

Posted on Friday Apr 17, 2009 Under Intelligence

When you have experience something traumatic or horrible, you just want to forget about it. When someone has hurt you or done you wrong, you just want to move on and forget about it. But no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem too. It just lurks in your mind and comes out when you least expect it.

Forgetting is hard because we have as humans, tend to mull over things and asking question. If we keep asking ourselves “Why?” then we would never forget. Some people say that forgetting is just a coward’s way. One should not forget but instead move on and make sure that it won’t ever happen again. But in life, some things are easier said than done. It takes a lot of effort and determination to forget something painful. But it really takes a lot of courage to leave it all behind you and get on with your life.

Whether you’re trying to forget a lost love, abuse, or tragedy, it would never be erased and it will always be a part of who you are. The best that you can do is strive to be a better person, overcome every challenge and win in life.
