Forgettiing is an active process, just as creating memory is.
Spotless mind was brilliant!Imagine, if you could not forget anything how could you possibly function? The brain is not infinite.
Just imagine if you actually remembered every single phone number/name. Or worse continuously was conscious of every moment of life or of ones relationships past, lovers, parents, friends and those now dead.Often I find forgetting much more difficult than remembering.
Rather wish this was not the case.
