sometimes it's better to forget than to remember ?

No, it's not better at all. Sometimes what you forget pops up out of the blue and you will feel miserable. While remembering makes you getting used to the fact that you have to live with it. Might be hard at the beginning but at the end it's better to accept it rather neglect it and keep it in a hidden drawer of your brain.\nAlways better to solve our issues then put it aside...\ngood luck!

No. The way we remember things is not just localized to one specific section in the brain, but it is a combination of neural networks essentially. Even if it was localized it would be very difficult to make someone specifically forget this without hurting other memories. Plus at present time drugs cannot be used to work locally in one specific section of the brain...even though nanotechnology will help us come closer to that goal.

Some people with Alzheimer's disease can remember things that happened _many_ years ago with great clarity, without being able to remember what they were doing an hour ago.\n\nSo in other words, being able to remember something that happened when you were younger does not necessarily mean anything.\n\nExcept the fact that you remember your grandpa.  I have a grandpa who died when I was real young, and I wish I could remember him. :(

You don't have to forget, but you must move on. Put them in the back of your mind, don't take sand to the beach. Summer is almost here have fun.

Sometimes we get in situations that makes us draw on our knowledge or experience and we can recall them in a hurry if needed.  It is called thinking on your feet.

Yes, because very often things turn out well. WE just tend to forget it.

Forgiving and Forgetting are NOT the same thing.  Too many people mistake forgiving as the same concept as forgetting.\n\nOne can forgive totally and never forget. How can we learn from our lessons if we keep forgetting the pain?  We can let go of the pain, but not forget the lesson/hurt.  \n\nI forgive if given time and space to do so.  But I cannot (and often will not) forget, as I want to remember my lessons.  Human brains are wired not to forget painful lessons.

From past experience I could tell you that keeping oneself busy by reading, writing,drawing or any other hobby can indeed take ones head off whatever it is that we want to forget. But the important think to remember here that thinking back to the situation or the experience is not all wrong, it's okay to reminisce on whatever it is that is bothering us and learn from the past so as not to repeat it in the future. If we try too hard not to think of a certain situation we will end up doing nothing but!

The deeper of the meaning is this is the healthiest thing for you inside personally-to reach your own gratification of forgiveness. "Best to forget" clears you from any and all traumas you may endure from any event in which requires forgiving and forgetting. It saves you physically mentally and emotionally. It puts you more toward peace and happiness rather then fear and darkness.

Memories are not necessarily created in isolation but rather in context.  When you were in your workshop you intended to do something but went upstairs to get something you need in the shop.  On the way you think of something else you need to do that day and the new thought dumps the old thought from short-term memory.  When you return to the shop, perhaps you see a tool you laid out or the item you planned to work on and you remember once again what you need upstairs.  This can go on and on for hours if you have a busy mind - and don't us post-its <G>.  People who never forget may have single-track minds.

What?\n\nYou know it depends on muscle memory or music, do you like what you are trying to remember? Is it important. All factors, yo.

U might have forgotten something or u think about something else.

I think you strike a balance between the two as memory is part of experience and in part this is what one uses to navigate through life.

As frequently as possible. Your brain learns from repitition (not duration as much)
