Can we really evr forget the past?
Can we evr vacate our minds of those people, moments, places, which happened to us a long time ago, & which we do not wish to remember?
As for me, I tend to put those memories into a trance box...
Thus for me... all the things I do not wish to cherish, are placed in a frame, such that when I view them, they seem to be in a state of trance... Like it was not really me when they all happened. So I view them as a 3rd person.
When I view the whole scenario as an external person, who is not really in the frame, it eases out the pains caused by an old memory. A place you dint wanna be in, people you wished you had nvr really met, or circumstances you never wanted to face.
However, Trance box comes with its own cons. It makes you feel, as if parts of your life are blank. As if, you had written something on those pages of the book, in an invisible ink & thus you are incapable of reading your own life's book. Well, there's no reason to weep over the loss, as the sentences written on those chapters, would only make 1 gloomy & bring tears to ones eyes.
Our lives go through various phases & although each memory is worth saving into the hard drives of our brains, some of them are better saved into a temporary drive & get auto-deleted after a short period of time. Also, this helps us in building new & better memories for the future, without the black spots of the past.
And also it serves as an important learning lesson for the future & helps you in avoiding those same mistakes again.
