I do not know what I would do, but surely I would feel a little bit bad. It is better to be able to forget what wasn’t positive about one’s life and cherish only the good memories.
Oblivion (in the sens of forgetting offenses ) helps us to move on.
If you were not able to forget or to rarely forget, then your brain will ignore the bad memories and other memories it deems as unnecessary/useless.
Having great memory doesn't have as much negatives as you'd think.
With all that being said, I'd study more subjects. If I didn't forget, then my mental age which equates to half of your IQ would increase at a giant pace.
I'd become perhaps one of the best public speakers in history.
Jacob made a good point about memory that some sorts of ignorance might be a necessity for us to keep moving on and help us out of some difficulty then we are possibly to have a better future.
@Ludovica,
Thanks for your point to enrich us. To forgive somebody who treated you unfair with hatred is not an easy task for some people, but it is a mechanism that many people have to learn and get used to so that they can have a far vision for the future.
@Sarah
People are often saying: "we can forgive but we cannot forget". Some people cannot forgive historic occurrence in the past is simply because the mistake has not been well identified, recognized and admitted by the mistake maker.
"I wish I had a perfect memory."
You may play some games to learn skills to enhance your memory. No doubt, learning new vocabulary is one of ways to enhance your retention, but ignorance is another story, I would have to argue.
For me, it will be a real dream to have an absolute memory. That’s true, it will can be a little bit difficult because you can’t forget anything, but I will be abble to learn all books from every subjects perfectly! Just I read it one time and I remember all words.
