Remembering and Forgetting

(I wrote this journal on facebook nearly month ago but I just realized that there's many stories in my life during this time concerning about "memory","remembering","forgetting")

What is the real significance between "remembering" and "forgetting"?They have always existed in every steps of our life.We always remember something and then we can also forget something.I think,they don't be truely an opposite side but they are like an interbeing.I've noticed myself that I've rarely forget anything in my life especially,stories about people or places I've used to be.Moreover,I've hardly lost anything,no matter what they were small or big things so If I would like to get rid of anything,I've often put efforts intentionally to left or abandoned those things.I was wondering whether could we really choose to forget or remember something.

Where is the real significance between the remembering and forgetting.How do they effect to our world? Sometimes I've upset with my great memory,I just want to forget anything which wounded me.But I've frequently really intended to keep every precious things inside me.For me,It was quite difficult to seperate absolutely between remembering and forgetting.I have both of them being with me.But I would like to practice the art of living without the thought as the reaction of the memory.Because they made me passive and sinking into the burdens of yesterday.
