Forgetfulness!

My cousin sister once told me that forgetfulness has duality  She gave me two examples, one was that when people or loved ones pass away they still have to move on with their life and eventually the departed soul is forgotten.  It is a good thing for them to move on and forget.  Yes, that soul may be remembered at times but in the daily hectic life that person is no longer phsyically there.  She said on the flip side it is bad when we forget the mistakes we have made and then keep on repeating them.  Forgetfulness is a very interesting thing that happens especially to us humans in today’s day and age.  We forget so many small things like even synapses of thoughts that come and go.  What’s the solution?  The solution is to realize that we forget things first and then also try to remind ourselves to not forget our thoughts and to move on with our lives.
