“Life cannot go on without much forgetting.” – Honore Balzac
As someone who commented on this quote said ‘But what to remember and what to forget, that is the question.’ I understand the quote since I feel my life is much happier because I don’t remember a lot of bad things, and if I do remember them I don’t obsess with them and become bitter over it. But on the other hand I know I have forgotten too many things that are of value too.
What is your take?

>i’m not sure if forgetting is even necessary. after all, the past only exists in our memory, right? in that respect, it’s not even ‘real’.
>Yes, and it’s a money back guarantee! Of course first you will have to send me money.
>It means my brain is not big enough to hold all this information. BUT, if I keep reading your blog it will get bigger and bigger and bigger, right???
