Worst moment, or the worst 40 years?
LOL! We celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday!...................
No. And here’s why:
My worst moment is from 30 years ago when I said something that ended the relationship with the love of my life. Not a week goes by that I don’t regret this furiously and not a week goes by that I don’t remember it acutely and it grounds out my urge to say something awful.
Some things you are REQUIRED to remember, no matter how painful.
And all of these years I’ve been using alcohol to scrub bad memories. Who knew?
Now you can erase the alcohol memories.......................
Just get a lobotomy.
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy............W.C. Fields..............
Indeed. Unless that pill affects everyone else's memories. Chances are the worst memory of your life is known my someone else.
Why not work on a pill that gets rid of insulin resistance and prevents the development of type2 diabetes? millions of people will benefit from such pill.
I would tattoo on the stump, "YOU CUT IT OFF WITH A CHAINSAW, DUMMY!
Then you would never forget!.......................
Some stroke patients have memory loss. Will God take this in consideration at the Last Judgment?
someone asked me whether I had any regrets in life.
I asked, What Year?
A pill that would take my pain away
Would consist of cyanide, arsenic and fentanyl
And would be taken by
Hillary Clinton,
Nancy Pelosi
and Adam Schiff
No. She would forget that she was under sniper fire while landing in Bosnia.
Depends on what your worst memory is. Sure many bad memories are learning experiences, probably shouldn’t erase those. But others are just traumatic and cause psychological problems. If your worst memory is seeing somebody get run over by a car all gruesome and gross get rid of it. Nothing to be gained by keeping those images.
I’m getting to the age where it’s hard to remember anything. Last thing I need is a pill to forget. Wake me when they come up with its opposite!
For most of us I can see it. But I’d have a really hard time telling the combat veteran I know that gets a panic attack every time he gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic that he needs to keep that. Or the combat veteran I know that needs sedation every Independence Day. These memories don’t enrich their lives, there’s no big learning experience from them. Just scarring crap that makes their lives more difficult.
I think my own psyche has handled this on its own. My sister, three years younger, remembers bad stuff in our childhood that I absolutely don’t recall. I consider it a blessing.
