Even after long times, bad situations that we experience in the course of life, remain intact in our thoughts, they are memories that do not fade, however, something good that happened to us often fades away quickly.
Why does it happen ?
Amazingly but the bad things seem to be stronger than the good things within our memory, we remember and meditate on the bad things that happened better than the good things that brought us happiness for the moment.
We don't laugh over and over again at the same joke, but we cry every time we remember the bad things and for the same reason. I wonder why ?
Our brains are more likely to remember bad things that happened in the past than to be grateful for the good things that already happened. Maybe it's because we took great lessons and had to learn from the lessons and thus take experiences that were bad, as opposed to something that was once pleasant to us and didn't cause us pain or suffering.
Is it possible to erase bad memories?
If we allow to overcome what happened, and try to see that traumatic situation that was experienced in the past, taking advantage of lessons, we will be able to ease the pain of those memories, but it is necessary to make an effort for this to actually happen.
Forgetting the bad things makes us people more resilient and able to overcome bad experiences, making them into learning so that we don't come back to repeat that again.
We remember the friend who abandoned us,
But we don't remember the friend who remains faithful,
We remember the day we were ignored,
But we don't remember the one who helped us,
We remember facts that make us cry,
But we don't remember the days that made us smile,
We are not grateful for anything good that happens to us daily, but we are great at bringing up memories of bad facts and events.
