We Learn to Forget
The paradox of learning is that we do it just for one reason - to forget. It should actually be our ultimate goal. As crazy as it sounds, we don't need the information which we already learned. It is only the process that matters.
And so, after sweating our asses off just to understand something new, we do let it go the minute after our succession. And we start over with something new. There is no time to rest. There is no time to relax. Unless you learn how to rest while working.
The good thing, however, is that no one can ever steal things which we earned with our hard work and efforts. Nobody can ever steal our knowledge. So, we can willingly forget things we learn just to open up some space for new information, but we can never erase that knowledge. I don't think I make sense now, but you know I do!
And so, the first thing we have to learn is how to forget. Everything else will come when the time is right. Sadly, the art of forgetting is not that easy after all. We are stupid enough to remember everything and torture ourselves with memories and facts. So, I wish we all learned how to forget so we could finall start learning to forget.
Awesome post. We learn for forget indeed. Thanks for sharing your valuable article
Lolz....The legendary @writingamigo. Quite a very incisive post.
But truly, it's been the case of the human era - learning and forgetting. Sometimes we deceive ourselves thinking we are machines and can retain memory info forever. It hasn't been the case. We are limited in our abilities; even though we are superior living species (unless aliens, do exist afterall). So, until we learn to forget, only then can we truly understand our real purpose of existence and harness life's numerous, but brief opportunities on this amazing planet.
As for this......
Lolz......You sure made alotta sense bro.
Haha, thanks for your words @rickie. True that we should just enjoy our time on Earth and take all the opportunities!
I respect your point of view about Forgetting. Many times we cling to things for not knowing how to forget. Very good post.
Thanks @covals! I hope it doesn't happen to us too often tho!
