Why do we forget?
Forgetting the the past is the best thing that can happen to us. Ever heard people saying Time will ease the pain? It’s not the time. Its the ability of humans to forget. Over a period of time you will forget things from the past and that is why they say time will heal your pains. Forgetting is the best human ability because that is what keeps you going on and move on in your life. If it was not this forgetting ability in us we would still be suffering thinking about the same disaster all our lives. Its a beautiful day today, blue sky with white fluffy clouds, its silent and all i can hear is chirping of birds. I just logged on to yahoo messenger and thought of going into the chat rooms. Its been years i logged into chat rooms and it reminded me all the days in my past when i met my mate online. It came back to me like a shock. I opened an online messenger website like meebo.com and saw how it has changed with so many new features, interface and in design and the other website emessenger.net seems to have shut down. These two websites were used by my mate to talk to me. I got this really weird feeling in my brian and heart while looking into it.
Also two or the rooms “american idol” and “current events” seems to be missing from the messenger rooms because those were the rooms we both used to go in most of the time. While feeling such things it striked me to write this article on why do we forget? because that is what i asked myself, why do we forget? Then suddenly i realised it is good that our memory fades with time because that is what kept me going on in this life of mine or else i will still be getting that hellish feeling of missing a soul mate.
My first and last best relation was online and hence these are the things which reminds me of it like yahoo messenger, chat rooms, msn messenger, some websites like online messenger and tickle. As i say these words my heart and mind feels those days in the past as i take a deep breath. After feeling them i just lay back on the chair and close my eyes and try to clear my thoughts to get out of that feeling.
Forgetting and fading memories is really a good thing. There are somethings which we hope and wish we never forget but shit happens, time keeps on going and a time comes when that good happy moment you spend goes way too behind. Then if you are a person like me, thinking about that moment will give you pain. That is why i used to and still say that memories are like thorns, they prick us. Thinking that its gone and will never be experienced again.
So sometimes i just live by the thought of the existense of those moments in the past. That kind of gives me a smile on the face. At one moment i am working hard on a program on computer at my workplace and then i find myself smiling for few seconds. Its probably my mind pulling out that happy thought out of all the garbage. Those who would notice me smiling while working would mostly ask me a dumb question like why are you laughing. But it is not something that i can explain to each one of them.
What my mind feel is like a mixture of good and bad, happy and sad, joy and sorrow and like nowhere on this planet but as if i am in some other dimension where time does not exist. Where one moment lasts for eternity and i smell and feel that vast openess.
