The Importance of a Short-Term Memory

In any relationship, there is nothing more valuable than a short-term memory. Grudges kill. Most indiscretions are forgivable, and learning to let it go is paramount to maintaining a healthy life. You can carry the baggage of past mistakes forever, or you can let it go and move on. A slight, a mistake, a misconception, a bad day, these things happen.

Sometimes, "sorry" has to be enough penance to pay.

  1. I find permanent global amnesia is the best condition under which a good friendship may flourish.

    Er.

    Never mind.

  2. Trust me, Polisner, I've already forgotten what you just said. That's why I have so many friends; I pretty much forget everything anyone says to me almost immediately.

    Er.

  3. Sometimes people say sorry so much it loses it's meaning. Just sayin'. :)

  5. global amnesia takes care of that. I don't remember Jeff ever saying sorry for anything. Plus, I don't remember him ever doing a single bad thing wrong.

    er.

    yay!
