HOW WE FORGET

I recently read this:
“How do we forget the only thing we remember about some one if we need to?” I didn’t know where it came from. So, I looked it up and it was a quote from the 2010 film The Social Network. Sean Parker spoke it. I have no idea what that was about or who he is…but the sentence is stunning.

From the nature of the sentence it appears to be something negative a person is trying to forget about that same person they are remembering. Otherwise if it were something positive, there would be little reason for the complicated forgetting. I think I’m getting twisted just thinking about all this.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) poet and writer wrote: ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’

I don’t think we forget much of anything that truly harmed us…but we do learn (often slowly) to forgive past issues. Forgiveness and forgetting will most always want to go head-to-head in trying to be the winner in our emotions.

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.” Jesus
