The Memories
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
Sometimes, dont you ever wish that you dont remember?
Memories about an event, memories about someone, memories about you embarassing yourself, memories that gives you nothing but saddness, etc etc.
In Short - Things that does not bring joy to you.
If only there's this delete button in our brain where we could selectively "delete" certain memories wouldnt that be wonderful?
We could simply just press "delete" and there goes that memory in the rubbish bin! Excellent!
However, i guess this will only happen in my dreams.
I realised - Bad memories are actually lessons to us in life. We learnt from every mistakes we made, every fall that we go through.
Without those bad experience, one can never matured.. Like the chinese poverb says..
"Failure is the mother of Success - 失败乃成功之母 "
On the other hand....
There are some who feels that they are never wrong, and will never learn from each and every fall they made.
There are some, who naively thinks that "its ok, this is the first and will be the last"
There are some, who believes in every good of man. "this person might do this, but he/she might have some reasons for that action/behaviour, and he/she promised to never do it again."
There are some, who refuses to face the truth, and will always be running away, hiding, and hoping that it will go away.
There are some, who suffers from short-term memory where they can forget things instancely. (i dunno if it is true or not, but i have experienced before..)
There are some, who are extremely forgiving and to him/her nothing is bad memories. They just simply forgive, forget and tada, that bad memory turns into a good one. (This reminds me of... my classmate in poly.)
There are lots more who will never learn from their mistakes and will always be making the same one.. like they always say.. "Leopard Can never change its spots"
Then again... there are cases where... people learnt and they changed. they really do change.. like those.. that are featured in Tvs.. etc.
Is it becoz they were really really down..... to a near point of no return.. but somehow.. someone managed to open them up and changed them?? Or they were just special cases in life?
I wish i could erase some part of my memories, change some parts of me, and be a brand new person. Could i?
I feel that i am not good enough, and i could be better.
