do you agree that we can not forget the persons who harmed you?

I remember everybody that I experienced a very strong emotion with, whether positive or negative. It is the way our minds work, when ever we mix thought with emotion, we give great power to that thought. We do not forget the harm, because often times, the negative emotions are more powerful in us. I prefer to remember the happier emotions, it tends to bring better experiences, when I dwell on the negative, my days just don't go right. Sincerely and With Appreciation my dear friend.

Honestly, I would think that it all depends on the person on who they want to remember or who they want to forget. It depends on how much recognition they would give to every person that they get to meet and interact. Sometimes, even if its a complete stranger, we can't forget them even after many years. Perhaps some striking appearance just got stuck on our mind when we first saw them. When it comes to friends or enemies, yeah, they really do imply their significance with us, be it the joy that they brought or the anger that they made us feel. Anger is a strong feeling after all. Perhaps that's the basis of that actor. In my case, I can't forget those who have made me really happy and those that have also caused me stress or who had made me irritated.

i think it is because of the level of harm it caused us. the heavier the harm it give the harder for us to forget the person.

Yes I do agree, I can forgive the person who harmed me but forgetting that person is just impossible as I cannot forget how I suffered too.

It is true. It's how we subconsciously defend ourselves if ever that person comes around again. It's like a red alert for us to take cover or something to protect ourselves from harm inflicted before by that person.

I don't think so.Maybe I'm too young.Imagining it's the last day of your life,will you still spend time thinking about the person who hurt you and the things he has done to you?Come on,don't waste your time.I know it's easy to say,but hard to do.But I try my best to do so.Last night,when I looked into the sky,there was a peaceful feeling rose in my heart.At that moment,I forgot those unpleasant things.

Why do you think this is? Is it because we feel that we were weak in allowing ouorselves to be hurt? I don't know, but what you say is true.

i tottally agree with you. i myself can not forget everyone who insult, harm or hurt me.

We are traumatized when someone causes us pain. That memory can forever be burned into our hearts and souls. We may be able to forgive the one who hurt us, but we usually don't forget them. Time heals all wounds.
