Gratitude Day 140 - To Forgive and To Forget

Dear Friends,

Thinking of heartbreaks and breakups, I was wondering why 
"forgive and forget" go hand in hand. One is a matter of the heart, 
the other of the brain! 
"Forgive and forget" implies harmony between the two organs. 
Since when do brain and heart operate on the same level? 
I find the heart to be more forgiving than the brain. I believe 
popular advice is "Love with your brain!"

Unless someone is suffering from brain alteration, no one really forgets anything. I was never a follower of the "forgive and forget" policy because my mind and body never learnt to cooperate with each other. I'm grateful I'm able to forgive, but not to forget - since forgetting would mean my "Sometimer has developed into Alzheimer!


But then, it's rarely about forgetting other's wrongdoing; it's mostly about forgiving oneself for being human.


Have a forgiving day everyone!
