I'll take perfect memory. I can learn from the things that cannot be forgotten with knowledge and acceptance. Blessed Easter Jordan! 🌲🙏

Perhaps what we truly seek lies beyond this binary—not perfect retention nor surgical forgetting, but rather, perfect discernment: the wisdom to know which memories to cherish, which to learn from, and which to hold lightly as they transform into the compost that nourishes our becoming.

I've always said if I could have a superpower, I would want to be able to commit everything to memory, combined with the truth, to me that would be something very special, & you know what's crazy, I have the greatest showman movie on in the background & as I am writing this, after I wrote committing things to memory do you know what Hugh jackman said "the blueprints cross my desk very briefly, but i managed to commit them to memory" now what are the chances, I don't know what it is but things like this happen to me all the time. Enjoy your weekend jordan 🙏

Solid memory here. Sometimes it feels like a curse. Somethings (very few, but albeit impactful and scaring) are worthy of forgetting.

Knowing how to forget would make you happier. This question is alike to that of “having all the riches in the world” vs “having just enough to get by” - ppl who report having all the riches in the world often report a certain void, it’s a bottomless pit. It doesn’t inherently equal happiness while a simpler life often does make for a happier life.

A perfect memory might be quite painful, but I know when things get too much...I'd rather process it and grow than forget and miss on some wisdom

I would rather have perfect memory and have to process more stuff than not have recall. I have fibro with brain fog and fatigue and so can say this from experience. Even as a super visual person , which I feel makes recall of bad stuff worse. 🙏 also sometimes it’s too easy to forget how we may have impacted other

Wouldn’t knowing how to forget, be under the umbrella of having a perfect memory? Yes, I want to befriend my mind to program it to be of most use and least intrusive, be able to recall and retain pertinent information, and deflate memories that are traumatic in nature and hinder me from being attentive and effective in the here and now.

I have good memory. I'd much rather forget or be able to store memory away and access it when I need it - like in the Harry Potter movies. 😅

When you let go of thought and come into the present, the peace beyond peace, memory is not necessary because you come into contact with the everything and know what you need to know as you need to know it. I'd go for forgetting all the heavy sh*t and programming that weighs me down, that way it would be easier to come into the peace.

Forget 100%. You can't move forward if painful memories hold you back even if you intellectually know what to do.

Sometimes the pain we suffer becomes so unbearable that we badly want to remove it, to forget it. I lost a friend and i badly want to know how to forget the memories I had. How to erase him from my life.....

I think this is actually a question about whether we have a tendency to cling on at the cost of letting go or whether we are avoidant...

How can I hold grudges and remember all the dumb shit everyone said and did during the pandemic if I don’t have a great memory? Someone has to hold it over their heads until they’ve apologized and accepted responsibility.

Since I have zero memories of 20+ years of my life I can confidently say, I’d rather have perfect memory.

Would you rather have a perfect memory or be able to forget anything you wanted at will?
