Sometimes I don’t know what is a greater blessing G-d gave: to remember or to forget? Remembering is what makes our humanity. Forgetting is what helps us keep our sanity. Without the gift of remembering we lose the meaning and beauty of life. Without the gift of forgetting we die many times over before we die. It’s interesting to see that what makes us is what breaks us: our memory. Yet on the other hand what breaks us is what helps sustain us: forgetting.
