by What if you could delete bad memories from your brain like a typo?
So no more sitting through borng classes day after day right? We can just program everything into our knowledge and then when we choose an occupation we can what we don’t need. We could make room for the things that really mattered really fast. We’d never have to worry about forgetting our lover’s birthday or was the aniversary friday or sunday… or maybe its Tuesday. No, none of that anymore we just program it all in. No hassle of calenders or planners or memorizing for tests. When something bad happened we just hit delte and guess what it never did! No life long trauma, no forever broken hearts…. no more broken hearts….
Just a minute here, so we have that great kiss with this other wonderful person, but it ends up being nothing, so we delte it… or do we really want that kind of choice at our finger tips. Anyone who’s found a truer love than that before know the question that always comes along, “how far have you gone?” If we delete that from our programs we can’t answer that question, but that’s not the problem, because anyone who has loved again knows that after the hurtful, “oh” your eyes meet and a small smile crosses your face, because you’ve shared something, and your suddenly closer. You can grow so much more as a couple.
But not if this is how it plays out:
“How far have you gone?”
“We’ll … there’s a possibility of course that I’ve been married before, but maybe I deleted it when I got divorced…. or maybe I’m all yours… there’s no way to know is there.”
Maybe you’d feel better after you cheated if you could just erase and start all over again… but with that feeling of horrid guilt you also realise deeper feelings for your other. You vow to yourself, and to them as well your now truest form of love and that you will never do it again! However, if you delete it, there’s no emotional guarantee that you won’t ever make the same mistake again… and just delete it. Again, again, and all over again.
Traumas make us stronger. They mature us and help us reach out to others…. they give us feeling. Delete all that happens…. delte the feeling, loose the love, loose the emotion. Is that really worth all the easy test answers? It’s not, test answers don’t make life worth living. Emotions, connections, they make life worth living.
