When someone is hurt so badly,we always hear the hackneyed line:" I can't forget and forgive him for his mistakes because I could still remember the pain he inflicted on me!"
Well I tell you what, that is totally wrong!the brain itself cannot feel pain. while the brain might be the brain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself or get rejected or hurt emotionally,the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain.So what about the headache? the brain is the one responsible for making us feel the pain of the rest of the body, but it cannot, by itself, generate the pain.However the skin and bones around the brain are able to feel the pain the result, being the headache we sometimes feel. so I could really say time heals wounds though not all of it if we just learn to know that it doesn't have a place in our mind. that we should let it go.

ok i am not a doctor so do not know whether that statement is true but i believe the brain is the translator if you like and when something happens it translate the message and lets our body know its pain or happiness or what ever it feels.
the brain is adept at hiding and filing away certain painful memories because we can not handle reliving it every moment, but yes as you say , time is a healer because we sometime dig in our memories to keep certain feelings alive and the longer it goes the weaker the memory.

If you let go everything it would also mean you won't learn anything. Since we learn from mistakes, we learn that it's not great to burn a finger or be set on fire!
And if people say they still can remember the pain this is right. Like they say: I can remember! So it's about the memory they talk about not the pain itself.
I can still remember the pain of giving birth too, and those who say you forget everything as soon as you hold your baby in your arms probably did not had the kind of pain I had.
But I do forget the pain as soon as the infections I have because of my eczema etc are over. So the new attack always catches me by surprise.
And yes if you have daily pain, never a moment without you get kind of used to that too, but it doesn't mean you can't feel it or it doesn't exist if you decide not to feel it. BTW women have way more nerves as men so we feel way more and there is a very good reason for that. Time is not healing all wounds.. it depends on the wound.
