Tough professors and strict parents always tell their students/kids that they should have a sharp memory to do well in exams, to apply new concepts in real life and to fulfill other intellectual obligations. Ayurveda also enlists the right mix of natural herbs that can help boost your memory, especially when you are a student, and so does many other pharmaceutical brands. Ironically, wise men always admonish you to forget as much as possible, to avoid distress to yourself. The regular mantra is “Do not remember the stinging comments of people around you. Do not stick to the bitter past. Live the present and build a better future. Forgive and Forget.”
The problem is, however, for a person who has developed a memory as sharp as a razor, during the course of his academic and professional endeavors, to forget virulence easily. As a result, he keeps on digging old facts which he cannot forget, especially things which has hurt him in the past, and makes life miserable for himself. The attribute, which has made him shine among hundreds, is suddenly acting as a serious deterrent in his personal life. He cannot live the happy present but keeps moping about the forgettable past. He wishes that he gets out of this situation, but finds no way out.
In such a scenario, self-counseling is a very viable option but not everybody can do it effectively. Spiritual inclinations to cleanse the mind of all ill feelings towards others are also a path that people may follow. In extreme cases, one may also surmise that professional assistance is the only solution. In actuality, this is also part of grinding oneself through the travails of life. The tough nuts raft through it and come out flourishing, but the fragile fledgelings get swept away into an ocean of emotional turmoil. That is why life is such an enigma.
