Hi.
There's something about my brain which sometimes bugs me: it seems to be better at remembering things that I don't like and/or would rather forget compared to things that I do want to or must remember. What I mean is not that I keep remembering/seeing those bad stuffs all the time, but those bad stuffs resurface very easily upon getting minor triggers.
For example, sometimes looking at a bank note may instantly remind me of a bad experience where I was conned (and how I once really really wished I'd have smothered that bastard to death), and I've really wanted to just put that behind because it made me sick thinking about retribution all the time. The ones that I want to remember, on the other hand, slips really easily out of my mind and often takes a lot of effort and luck to retrieve back, for example, when I forgot a name of a dish or when I ate it when I was dining out.
Sometimes I feel really upset about it, but at other times, I do think of a second opinion: Maybe by being better at remembering bad stuffs, the brain is helping to ensure better survival, in that by remembering them, we know better to avoid them. Sounds pretty farfetched, doesn't it? After all, that sounds as if every single thing in the world can be so traumatic you can't afford to forget the because they can get back to you.
What's your opinion on this guys?
PS: Been a while since the last time I paid a visit here
