“In life, we all have some things we could not achieve, some people we could not beat and some girls we could not get. Losers remember them…winners forget them! In life, success is not only about how well you remember, but also about how soon you forget.”… was my laughably immature advice to my younger cousin; years back.
Not bad for a teenage-boy trying hard to sound wise!! 🙂
But, you know what? With some changes…I would still stand by it!
………………..
Sharp memory isn’t good for happiness.
The best thing about past is that there is a certainty about it…it is safe…known territory…within our control. And it also gives a facility to pick and choose…to ignore what we find unnecessary, focus on what serves our purpose and change interpretations to suit our liking. Well! The backyard belongs to us, that’s why we like it there!
But real-life doesn’t have a reverse gear! Past is only virtual! Find it somewhere and you will find it nowhere! The cosmos didn’t even take pains to erase it, it simply got overwritten! All incidents and events now only remain in your mind and it’s you who refuse to truncate the recycle-bin!
Well! Life’s favorite button is ‘F5’! So, all you can do is ‘Redo’, but for that, you have to first stop wasting time in finding the ‘Undo’ feature in the ‘Help’ menu.
………………..
It is the only truth that exists beyond time!
PS: By the way, if you find a way to forget the girls one couldn’t get then… do share 🙂 🙂
