I am really a good forgetter...... It has its advantages. The people in my life may not agree that my forgetfullness is a positive attribute but I usually forget to address their concerns.
WOW, I found this article fascinating and something I never considered. That, we, as humans, have a built in system of forgetting. And that it serves the purpose of allowing things that no longer matter to us to leave, so new, more useful information can enter. This also enables us to live more in the present. Equally interesting that the internet is preventing us from forgetting. I’m glad I’m not tethered to it.
For those interested in this topic, I highly recommend his book, “Delete”. A few years old but just as relevant as ever.
