The Importance of Forgetting
With the high speed hustle and bustle of the world we all live in today, it is easy to forget things; Where you put your keys, appointments, friends, epiphanies and even your Self.
It is an integral part of the finite existence to be able to forget and absorb yourself with what is going on around us. Opening up the space in our minds to maximise enjoyment, you don't think about bills when zooming down a zip wire do you? Can you imagine how limited and bound by thoughts we would be if we carried around with us everything we have been through? There would be no space for new experiences, new discoveries, and new people in our lives, at least to my interpretation!
It is through forgetting that we can go looking again, in places we have been before and discover more, learn more, see the things we missed first time around, opening up new avenues of discovery in the most unlikely places! (Which is where the magic always comes from!)
We can turn around and scorn ourselves for forgetting things, saying we should have known and done better, but it is through experiences like these we can fine tune our desires, and in turn better know our selves. For me this is very important as it's one of my personally interpreted keys of spirituality, that the main point of our existence here is to fulfill those desires. Fine tuning them can only lead to greater heights of happiness and accomplishment.
When it comes down to it, our collection of memories are nothing more than a wake to the present moment. A lot of people define themselves on their memories, which is why you encounter others who can be 'stuck in their ways'. To not forget is to breed prejudice, on all things big and small, to a certain degree this helps us live through life, not forgetting that a red man at the crossing means stop for instance! But with a Universe as broad and amazing as the one we live in, I feel it is important to look at each new day with fresh new eyes and to let the day slip through your fingers when it comes to an end, so as to never hold onto yesterday's old news, already ready for something new and untold.
Change is the only constant, and nobody ever knows it all.
